To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Some of the old experi- enced hands on board, however, continued to predict hard lines for the Megcera when she got into the " heavy water " of the Indian Ocean. That the vessel was in a very unseaworthy condition could not be doubted, and those in command never attempted to deny that her position would be most critical if she were unfortunate enough to encounter stormy weather.
With that happy indifference to danger which is so characteristic of our soldiers, the troops on board paid very litt...le attention to the condition of the vessel. It was none of their business ; all that they had got to do was to obey orders, and make the best of every circum- 40 WEIGHED, AND FOUND WANTING.
stance ! This habit of mind prevented all panic or in- subordination from occurring when danger threatened, and was greatly instrumental in preventing those evil consequences which so surely attend any default in management.
When the Megcera was crossing the Indian Ocean a gale sprang up. The sea became fearfully agitated, and the " heavy water, " so dreaded by the knowing " salts, " began to tell visibly upon the deeply-laden ship all un- prepared for such emergencies.
