To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
None of the members of the force were allowed to fire shots, even at game, and the natives gradually became fully con- vinced of the pacific intentions of the part}^, and they abstained from molesting it. On September 30, 1890, Mount Hampden was reached ; 400 miles of road had been completed, and forts had been erected at Tuli, Victoria, Charter, and Salisbury. The pioneers were then disbanded, and immedi- ately began the work of colonization. Around the forts houses were erected, while prospec...tors spread themselves over the country. The arrival of the pioneers was immediately followed by many intending settlers, and precau- tions had to be taken to ensure supplies for the whole of the population. No one was allowed to penetrate the country without being in possession of at least nine months' supplies, but many emi- grants escaped the vigilance of the officials, some coming on foot, others with donkeys, and when the wet season began, measures had to be adopted to find supplies for the new arrivals.
