To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Starting from Dargai the pass at first goes through a gradually narrowing valley to the north for about two miles ; then bends to the north-east for a mile and a half, where the high hills on the west drop precipitately into the pass. On reaching the bend of the pass to the north-east it was apparent that the pass was strongly held on the west side, the whole range being lined by men with flags and banners. At this point the 4th Sikhs were sent to occupy a spur which jutted out from the range... to the west, and they had to remain there covering the advance for the day. The Guides Infantry were directed to ascend the highest point of the western hill, and after gaining the summit to turn along the crest and enfilade the position of the enemy, which evidently extended from the highest point to the end of the range, and 'where, as already noted, the hill precipitately descends into the pass. The THE MALAKAND PASS 163 Guides Infantry had a most arduous task to perform. They had to ascend the highest peak of the range, about 1, 500 feet high, and attack and capture several 'sungars full of the enemy, which were held by riflemen and crowds throwing rocks and stones down ; and their advance was necessarily gradual.
