A third reason is that the pioneers had difficulty in establishing permanent settlements, having several times to abandon ground they had won with slaughter and go slaughtering again to secure more. This abandoning of ground was due not to the hostility of the natives, hostile enough though they were, but to the violence of the climate, which was not to be with stood even by men so well equipped with legal weapons and beief in the decency of their purpose as Anglo-Saxon builders of Empire......
