To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The round stone towers, and huge wood and sail arms of the windmills remind one strongly of Holland. Bar- bados is exceedingly bare of trees — you see them only about the farm-houses or in stray copses — and yet, owing to the beneficent trade-winds, rain falls plenteously. Rarely is there drought, and even then water may always be found at a very few feet below the surface. Upon the eastern coast you notice great, uncouth masses of coral rock, a long way from shore, out in the surf, whose conti...nual beating has worn away their bases, so that some appear like huge mush- rooms, while others are mutilated like the Egyptian Sphinx. Near one of the stations stands Codrington College, the largest and best-appointed institution of the kind in the West Indies. The round railway trip occupied four hours. I had a few days to wait for the bi-monthly steamer to Georgetown, British Guiana. It was one of the Royal Mail line, all fine vessels built on one model — long, low, narrow, with very sharp prow and raking masts.
