To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He persistently declined, and told me that if the captain doubled his offer again he would not go. I remonstrated with him, for we would all have liked him as a shipmate, when he ex- plained that he was the only son of an aged man, and that it would therefore be infamous for him to go away from home. If his father did not need his care, he would have jumped at the captain's offer. I. had made a friendly acquaintance with a merchant's clerk by giving him some lessons in the English alpha- bet. S...hortly before we went to sea, he came on board and remarked to me that when Chinamen ventured upon the ocean they set up a joss in their cabin, before which, from time to time, they set cups of tea and burned joss- sticks and paper-prayers. He did not see any joss in our cabin, and he asked me if I would not be more comfortable, when a great storm arose, if such a recog- nition of our dependence upon the good-mil of a Supe- rior Being had been observed. It was a simple, friendly inquiry, made in a perfectly well-bred manner.
