To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Returning from these chambers to the margin of the lake, another opening in the rock attracted the attention of the party. Upon examining this aperture, which was only twenty inches in height, the passage beyond appeared to expand and the water exhibited a broad, unruffled surface. In the true spirit of adventure it was resolved to explore this passage. A boat was accordingly constructed, corresponding in size with that of the aperture, which was only large enough to admit a single individual i...n a recumbent position. Having thus passed through the opening, each being shoved or drawn forward by his companions, they found that the rock again ascended in a dome-like shape, and that the lake, expanding as before, stretched onward for about a quarter of a mile before it was hidden from view by a projecting point of rock. Advancing in this new di- rection, their navigation was presently interrupted by a semi- circular dam formed of calcareous tufa, over which the water broke with a slight ripple ; this was only the first of a scries of similar obstructions, for, having left the boat and pursued their way along a shingly, narrow shore, they counted fourteen of these miniature dams, over which the water broke in tiny cas- cades, forming a picture, as tho light caught the edges of the current, altogether unparalleled and beautiful beyohd descrip- tion.
