To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This is a small island of no particular importance, twelve miles long and six miles broad, its only visible vegetation being a few tropical plants. For two days the heat was almost intoler- able, and every one donned their white suits, about the only suits worn by passengers, captain and of- ficers in these latitudes. As they are inexpensive, and much cooler and more comfortable than woolen clothing, travelers in this part of the world usually carry a number of these suits with them. It is nece...ssary, however, to take woolen clothing too ; as, the average speed of the steamer being twelve knots an hour, or 300 miles per day, one travels over quite a number of degrees of latitude in a week, and the temperature varies accordingly. We had been distributing European passengers all along the coast at the various Australian ports at which we touched, and in turn had picked up Chinese, so that now the Celestials numbered at least 300, and my white companions had dwindled down to a mere handful.
