To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was concerning the 264 New Treaty Ports two new treaty ports. The English and the Japanese ministers were anxious that the one on the Yalu River should be actually inside its mouth, to ensure the river being kept open to foreign trade. This officer had been personally to the place, and one glance at the rough sketch of the reconnaissance he had made convinced me that the contemplated treaty would not secure the desired result. Our minister was confident that it would, but after an interview ...with the Japanese min- ister I concluded to look into the matter more closely.
The Austria, one of our gunboats at Chefoo, was commanded by Commander Ward, an officer who, in addition to many other excellent qualities, spoke Rus- sian fluently; and to him was given the work of exam- ining the mouth of the Yalu. He was directed to em- ploy the best pilots to be obtained, to make a complete running survey of the locality, to report fully on the proposed treaty port, and to recommend a suitable one for the purpose in view — keeping open the mouth of the river.
