To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The only hope of safety for the ship, under ordinary circumstances, was to put to sea instantly ; but all communication with the shore was cut off, for no boat could live in such a tempest. There was nothing for it but to ride it THE < CENTURION' BLOWN OUT TO SEA. 241 out till the cables parted. At five in the afternoon the small bower parted, and the ship swung off to the best bower. As night came on the violence of the wind increased. The tide running with great force and rapidity, there was terrible commotion — the tide forcing the vessel before it, in spite of the wind which blew upon the beam. The sea broke tremendously all round, and a great tumbling swell threatened to poop the ship ; by which swell the long boat moored astern was on a sudden canted so high, that it broke the transom of the Commodore's gallery, whose cabin was on the quarter-deck, and would doubtless have risen as high as the tafifrail had it not been for the stroke which stove the boat all to pieces. At eleven o'clock the tide slackened, but the wind not abating, the best bower cable, by which alone they rode, parted.
