To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To Vigo therefore it was decided to go, and there on September 11 Ch&teau-B£nault arrived, having cleverly slipped in unobserved between Rooke and Shovell. For this Rooke both then and since has always been severely blamed. He is accused of wholly neglecting the treasure fleet and of taking no steps to get intelligence of it, and by no one more acrimoniously than by Methuen himself. But, however badly Rooke behaved during the campaign, this charge is one that cannot be upheld. As we have seen, ...he duly sent into Faro and received Methuen's labt despatch. Although the Plate fleet had been in Vigo five days when he wrote it, it contained no mention of it, except a rumour that Chateau-Renault was expected — a rumour which Methuen himself clearly did not believe. 1 Rooke also, before passing St. Vincent, sent three cruisers with the home transports into Lagos to water, and later on three more into Lisbon to bring Methuen back to England. It is true these detachments were apparently to make their own way home, but it is clear that, if Methuen had any news, he had abundant opportunity of sending it.
