To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Her bulk suggests the six-hundred-ton cargo-carrier that still persists on the Great Lakes and is known as the "old Welland Canaller, " but from each side, through square ports, grin an even dozen of twenty-four-pounder cannon, and from her main truck flies the fighting broad-pennant of Commodore Isaac Chauncey. Next in line swings a smaller square-rigger, with two masts, the slab-sided wallowing old sixteen-gun brig Oneida, sailed, or driven, you might say, by Lieutenant Melancthon T. Woolsey.... These leaders haul into the smooth water in the lee of the island sandbar and steer straight towards the clearing around the site of the old French fort of 1749 in what is now a park, the grounds of the annual Canadian national exposition. A mile out for they distrust the shallows of the shore water the square-riggers come to anchor with a great threshing and flailing of loosened topsails. The big batteaux that have trailed astern of them are drawn up alongside, under the boat-booms, and the gangways are rigged for the disembarking of the soldiers.
