To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Price was badly hurt by a sabre blow on the head, but continued fighting on the quarter-deck until he had cleared it, after which it was the task of an in- stant to send his men below and secure his prisoners. The condition of things he discovered there was discreditable ta the U. S. navy; he found scores of cowering men who courted nothing so much as a chance to surrender.
"The men [wrote Lieut. Pendergrast in his report], seemed para- lyzed with fear, and remained under the hurricane deck wit...liout giving the officers the least support, though they were ordered out by Paymas- ter Billings and Ensign Hill. I found it impossible to discover the where- abouts of all the men, owing to the darkness, and there was but little opportunity for the officers to give many orders, as all were engaged in combat the moment they reached the deck, and continued to fight until struck down. I regret to say the watch below evinced no desire to come on deck and defend the ship. Had the crew but emulated the noble ex- ample shown them by their officers, the result would have been different.
