To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Until seven o'clock the ship had drifted only the length of the deep sea lead line, for the reason that the wind was opposed to the current.
At eight o'clock the ship began rapidly to drift and as no light or land had been seen for the last five hours, I knew we must be very near No Man's Land, and gave the order, "Wear ship!" As the ship was going round we heard a man hello, and immediately brought the ship to the wind with the head sails back.
A pilot boat soon emerged from the blinding snow,... and Captain Flanders, the Vineyard pilot, came alongside and aboard. If ever I was glad to see man it was Flanders. He at once gave the order, "Wear ship, " as we were near a reef, as I had feared.
Captain Flanders informed me that we would have to make a harbor on Tarpaulin Cove. I said: "Captain Flanders, New Bedford, beef, pork, flour, hardbread, cordage, small stores, and whatever you wish, but Tarpaulin Cove, not a smitch! " Captain Flanders answered, "It is New Bedford. " MAKING NEW BEDFORD IN A SNOW STORM.
