To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
267 at a glance, irhom they had bound by the legs to a tree ; around which the savages danced and leaped, yelling now with rage, now in merriment, but all the while belaboring the poor wretch with rods and switches, which at every turn round the tree, they laid about his head and shoulders with imcommon enei^y and zest. This was a species of diversion better relished, as it seemed, by the captors than their captive ; who, infuriated by his pangs, and perhaps desiring, in the desperation of the ...mo- ment, to provoke them to end his sufferings with the hatchet, retaliated with his fists, which were at liberty, striking fiercely at every opportimity, and once with such effect as to tumble one of the tormentors to the earth, — ^a catastrophe, however, that the others rewarded with roars of approving laughter, though with- out for a moment intermitting their own cruelties.
This spectacle, it may be well supposed, produced a strong efiect upon the minds of the travellers, who, not without alarm on their own, account at the discovery of such dangerous neigh- bors, could not view without emotion a fellow white-man and countryman helpless in their hands, and enduring tortures per- haps preliminary to the more dreadful one of the stake.
