What reading level is The Pathan Borderland a Consecutive Account of the Country And People On And Be book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Directly after crossing the border beyond Chitta Thana, the road enters the defile. I was again struck witli the size of the cemeteries which seemed out of all pro[)ortion to the population of the villages to which they belonged. As is usual across the frontier, all the villages in the Kohat Pass are protected by high loop- holed towers and walls. In several of them — notably in Khani-mela. Shahedatalab* and Sahib-ud-din — there are rifle factories which supply fire-arms not only to the Afridis... of the Kohat " Darrah, " but even to such distant tribes as the Mohmands. I visited most of the factories near the road, and found the men employed in them willing enough to show me how the work was done. In the larger workshops a complete plant of machinery for boring out and turning rifle barrels has been set up. It is all worked by hand. As a rule Punjabi gun- smiths are employed. They keep secret the art of grooving the barrel as far as possible ; but the local Pathans are quick at learning how to make all the different parts of a rifle, and now do a great deal of work for themselves.
