To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Captain Ross found embedded in the conglomerate on the outer coast, a well- rounded fragment of greenstone, rather larger than a man's head : he and the men with him were so much surprised at this, that they brought it away and preserved it as a curiosity. The oc- currence of this one stone, where every other particle of matter is calcareous, certainly is very puzzling. The island has scarcely ever been visited, nor is it probable that a ship had been wrecked there. From the absence of any bett...er explanation, I came to the conclusion that it must have come entangled in the roots of some large tree : when, however, I considered the great distance from the nearest land, the combination of chances against a stone thus being entangled, the tree washed into the sea, floated so far, then landed safely, and the stone finally so embedded as to allow of its discovery, I was almost afraid of imagining a means of transport apparently so improbable. It was therefore with great interest that I found Chamisso, the justly distin- guished naturalist who accompanied Kotzebue, stating that the inhabitants of the Radack archipelago, a group of lagoon-islands in the midst of the Pacific, obtained stones for sharpening their instruments by searching the roots of trees which are cast upon the beach.
