To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
After this date, although traces of the missing ships were discovered many years after, all is conjecture, all must be left to the imagination, to complete one of the saddest stories that has ever been told in connection with Arctic enterprise. We will, however, endeavour to dovetail together the various scraps of information that have subsequently come to our knowledge, and so trace the proceedings of the expedition from the time when it was last seen by the whaler Prince of Wales until the sa...d and bitter end came, but it must be clearly understood that the greater part of what is here set forth must, of necessity, be purely conjectural. The ships, we know, pursued their solitary way through Baffin's Bay towards Lancaster Sound. Enter- ing this broad channel, they sailed along the coast of North Devon, continuing their course to the westward ; but ice, that unconquerable foe with which the Arctic explorer has to battle, effectually barred the passage, and prevented further advance in that direction.
