To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Though, like the mussuli boats, exceedingly unwieldy and destitute of symmetry and elegance, they are useful and abundant. Were you here during the prevalence of the Monsoon, not a dhony would you see : these barks, unfitted to encounter wind and surge, are then housed away in some safe harbor. Foreign ships are not allowed during that period to anchor in the roadstead, and even the steamers make but a short stay, and then in the far distance from the shore. The mussula boats are undergoing the...ir annual re- pair, and the catamarans have the coast to them- selves. Having acquainted the reader with the various kinds of boats and vessels common in the Bay of Bengal, I will now take him to the banks of the Cauvery, one of the largest rivers in the Southern Peninsula, and will there show him a craft still stranger than cata- maran, mussula boat, or dhony. It is a circular bas- ket, ten feet in diameter, with ribs of the strong and ^pliant bamboo, covered with buffalo leather. I was one of fourteen persons desirous of visiting the Se- ringham Pagodas upon the opposite side of the stream, and obliged to cross in this way or stay at home.
