To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Several junks, which had left the harbour of Le-to with us were wrecked; but a merciful God preserved our vessel.
As the wind blew from the north, the agreeable temperature of the air was soon changed to a piercing cold. Though we were full 30 miles dis- tant from the shore, the water was so much blown back by the force of the wind, that a man could easily wade over the sand bar ; and our sailors went out in different directions to catch crabs, which were very numerous. But in a few days afterw...ards, a fa- vourable south wind blew, when the water increas- ed and rose to the point from which it had fallen.
In a little time large numbers of boats were seen coming from the mouth of the river, to offer assist- ance in towing the junk in from the sea.
We had approached a considerable distance to- wards the shore before we saw the land, it being al- most on a level with the sea. The first objects which we could discern were two small forts; these are situated near the mouth of tlie river, and within the last few years have been considerably repaired.
