To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Jowf as a town is about two miles long, and, on an aver- age, a quarter of a mile wide. The houses, many of them, are hidden away in the palms, and so give one the impression at first sight that the place is thinly populated. I learned from the chief, later on, that there were about forty thousand inhabitants in the Jowf, all told. The buildings, except the castle, are all of mud and sand brick, dried in the sun ; some of the houses have three stories, built, of course, in a very primitive ...style. The roofs are all flat, protected by a wall about waist high. The women, there secluded, frequent these roofs, as they are free from all observation. The interior of the houses are as bare as possible, the hand- mill, coffee-pounder, and an old rug or two being about all that is visible. Most of the houses are doorless, owing to the scarcity of wood. The people live mostly out of doors, in the hottest months seeking the shade of the palm groves and gardens, and in the cooler months basking in the sun on the sand.
