To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They are stuck through a slit in the lobe of the ear. We left Bulawayo that evening with the waggons and three fresh spans of oxen. On the way we passed the scene of the two fights between the Chartered Company's forces and the Matabili on the march from Victoria to Bula- wayo. Mr. G. Grey was in both fights, and by close questioning we got very vivid descrip- tions of them from him. The extraordinary folly of the Matabili strikes me more than any- thing else. They absolutely thought that they ...had only to fire a shot, and walk in and assegai our men without a struggle. They neglected almost every natural advantage, and showed neither tactics nor generalship of any kind. 126 TWELVE HUNDRED MILES IN A WAGGON Neither of the fights seem to have been nearly as severe as those in the Soudan War, compar- ing them with what one has heard of the latter.
