To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Pope. " Had you never written that letter, but kept quiet and exemplary in your conduct, and come peaceably to me and requested your discharge, I would have used every exertion to obtain it for you ; but since you have chosen otherwise, and raised silly charges to blacken the reputation of myself, as well as that of Commodore Nicholson I say, under the circumstances, I'll be d d if I do, " and Mr. Pope emphasized his determination by smacking his fist on the fiferail with such force, that an ir...on belaying pin jumped out of its station, and tumbled down on the toe of Lieutenant Johnson, who went hopping across the quarter-deck with one foot in his hand, and making as many grimaces as a monkey at a concert.
"Mr. Pope, " answered I, while replacing the belaying pin, " I have now been two years in the service, and can easily weather out a third. Up to the present time, I have met with some good treatment, and a great deal that I considered harsh. I have asked but few favors from officers, and those few have seldom been granted ; but as to my discharge, I have never yet solicited you, or any other officer to procure it for me, and, come good or ill of my words, I boldly assert that I never will !" and bowing respectfully to my official visitor, who turned towards the cabin, I glided down the hatchway, and returned to my duty on the lower gun-deck.
