To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This magni- ficent display lasted a few minutes ; and the light had nearly vanished, when the north-east quarter sent forth a vigorous display, and nearly at the same time a corresponding co- ruscation emanated from the opposite extremity. The west- ern foot of the arch then disengaged itself from the horizon, crooked to the northward, and the whole retired to the north- east quarter, where a bright spot blazed for a moment, and all was darkness. There was no noise audible during any part of ou...r observations, nor were the compasses percepti- bly affected."* During the voyage back to Chamisso Island, where they arrived on the 27th August, they had repeated interviews with the Esquimaux, whose habits and disposition were in no respect different from those of the natives already described. They found them uniformly friendly, sociable, devotedly fond of tobacco, eager to en- gage in traffic, and upon the whole honest, though disposed to drive a hard bargain. On some occasions they attempted to impose upon their customers, by skins artfully put toge- ther so as to represent an entire fish ; but it was difficult to determine whether they intended a serious fraud or only a piece of humour, for they laughed heartily when detected, and appeared to consider it a good joke.
