To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This swamp is now filled with all sorts of aban- doned French machinery. Dredges, locomotives, and even what seem to be lock gates, show amid the palms in the distance. Huge American cranes for raising this French material which the American engineers have made use of and discharging cargo from the ships in the French Canal which is here finished and in use loom over the swamp, the banks of which are lined with piers and workshops full of life a curious contrast to the dead swamp in which not a... mosquito lives, nor a smell breathes. ** ? ' * k f Ill GATUN: DINNER TIME Ill GATUN: DINNER TIME BETWEEN Mount Hope and Gatun is much more of the swamp and much more abandoned machinery, but the Canal is not to be seen from the railroad, or any evidence of it, till the train stops at the station of Old Gatun, with its workmen's dwellings crowning the hillside. I regret I made no drawing of these, so picturesquely perched. At the station of Gatun the first time I stopped I saw the workmen in decorative fashion coming to the surface for dinner.
