To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Tibetans left behind them but few under the actual walls of the post, but 180 dead were found within a radius of one thousand yards, and, under the circumstances, at least three times that number must have been wounded. On our own side — besides our wretched servants and the unhappy Nepali shepherd who was caught outside the defenses watching his flock through the night, and fell a shocking victim to the Tibetans' savage lust for blood — there were but two casualties all this time. This is ...but another example of the immunity which, time after time, was enjoyed by our men against all probability and, indeed, expe- rience.
The work of the mounted infantry was finished about six 152 THE OPENING OF TIBET o'clock in the full light of the quick Asiatic dawn. The Tibetans flying helplessly over the flat irrigated fields had been scattered to the winds. The luckier ones on horseback made good their escape almost to a man. The others either ran for their lives with the characteristic heavy-shouldered tramp of their race, or hid in vain desperation among the irrigation channels of the fields.
