To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Under the direction of M. Paul Weiss, Inspector of the Quarries of the Seine and an ex- perienced mining engineer, five shafts were sunk, galleries were led from them in all directions, and the intervening spaces were probed by long iron tools constructed for the purpose. Because of the information contained in Colonel Blackden's letter only leaden coffins were considered. Five were found ; the first, second and fourth had inscriptions which showed at once they did not con- tain the body sought... ; the fifth disclosed a man over six feet tall, and, as the famous commodore was only five feet seven inches, could be quickly passed by. The third, discovered on March 31, contained the body of John Paul Jones. The last mentioned coffin in its solidity and its finished work- manship was considerably superior to the other four, which is consistent with the statement previously cited that M. Simonneau had paid four hundred and sixty-two francs for the funeral ex- penses — at that time a hospital patient could be buried for eighty- nine francs.
