To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
None of these had yet been assigned to the Atlantic Fleet and there was no foundation of organization upon which to build, but by the evening of September 23 the last detail was completed. Some difficulty was experienced in the lack of maps and we knew little of the country be- yond the immediate vicinity of the city and its resi- dential suburb, Marianao ; but a fairly good view was obtained from the military top of the Louisiana, and by means of sextant angles of prominent landmarks we were a...ble to plot apparent strategic points and probable location of roads leading to them. On the day after our arrival, Commander Chapin and I went out in an automobile to verify a proposed line of defense and to gather such general information as might be obtainable. For the latter purpose we went out into the areas occupied by the insurgents, our uniforms showing that we were not of the Cuban governmental army. For some little distance the groups that we met seemed friendly enough, grin- ning and pretending to race their ponies against our car.
