To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He was in only five fathoms of water among grounded ice, which gave the vessel sharp nips, trying her strength. At one time the "Corwin " was lifted up bodily several feet, and held suspended for some minutes; coming in contact with one, " stern on, " the rudder was forced over, the screw steering gear carried away, and the wheel chains parted. Happily the rudder stock, which was of the best Oregon oak, stood the strain, although for a time it seemed as if nothing could save it. On the 16th, th...e ship continued to drift helplessly all day.
On the 17th, a sharp northeast gale broke up the ice and started it off shore, allowing the " Corwin " to proceed towards Norton Sound and St. Michael's, where she xwas again detained several days. She had received from the natives the unwelcome news that the previous win- ter had been the most severe ever known, a report confirmed by the sealers from Norton Sound.
Steaming over to St. Lawrence Island to investigate a report which had been made to the Treasury Department of a fearful starvation of the inhabitants there, Capt'ain Hooper found one village entirely de- serted, and in a second not a living being, but many of the dead un- buried, the whole number of those who perished being estimated at one hundred and fifty.
