To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I forget now precisely what passed, but the men were culpable, and the general arraigned them before a regi- mental court-martial, appearing himself to give evidence against them. They were found guilty and sentenced to receive a certain number of lashes in the usual manner probably 200 each, for in those days, whatever the offence might be, it was too generally visited by a flogging. The culprits were fine, high-spirited young men, and though in this instance they had grievously offended again...st martial law, they were generally well-behaved. On the morrow, at an early hour, the regiment paraded for punishment. We formed three sides of a square, in a small cleared space in the vicinity of our lines, hemmed in on every side by jungle. Here all was ready, the THE BURMESE WAR. 177 triangle being the most prominent feature in the scene, whilst beside it was drawn up a formidable line of drummers, in their shirt sleeves (the usual mode of doing business in India, on account of the heat), with the drum-major at their head, provided with pencil and book, to note the num- ber of lashes ; for the practice was then, and still is, I conclude, for each drummer to give twenty- five lashes, so that the unfortunate culprit should receive them fresh and fresh.
