To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I think the reason probably was that they did not exactly understand what he wanted them to do. On the few occasions on which I attempted to lead them to build barricades they never once refused to follow me, and the chief difficulty I had was to prevent them from unnecessarily exposing them- selves. They were, indeed, reckless of danger. One prominent instance of their bravery was displayed when the line of fire of our Nordenfeldt had to be cleared. This gun was mounted at the Legation gate, a...nd commanded the canal, but a number of trees which were in a very exposed position along the bank blocked the line of fire. Beyond these trees the Chinese were sniping us, and a Japanese sentry posted on the opposite bank had his hands full in looking after these snipers. A native Christian under- took the task of going out and cutting down these trees, and refused to allow any foreign- er to accompany him. His appearance outside was the signal for the snipers to renew their activity, and he was continually shot at, but performed his task with the utmost coolness.
