To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For the greater safety of our cattle we took advan- tage of the kraals ; but with the exception of a lion howling across the river, and a few hyaenas and jackals around our bivouac, we were untroubled with night marauders. Such was the wind-up of the day on which we picnicked on the Limpopo. Here there is a great alteration in the appearance of the velt, for the reason that the terrible thorn scrub is giving place to the mapaney bush, a strange yet far from unattractive member of the vegetable ...kingdom. I will attempt to describe it, for the farther we proceed north it becomes more abundant, till ultimately it altogether assumes the place of the ivory-needle thorn. Its leaf is thick and fleshy, with the stem, arteries, and veins deeply marked; the shape resembles the wings of a butterfly, or, rather, two hearts joined, which, when the sun becomes extremely hot, close together upwards, thus affording very little shelter from its rays. The height it grows to is usually about three feet, although under favourable circumstances where the soil is moist and shelter from larger trees found I have noted it attain an altitude of six feet.
