To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Indian said his name was Malope*. The ad miral replied that his was Mendana. Malope* at once rejoined that he would be Mendana, and that the admiral should be Malope'. He manifested much gratification at this exchange, and, whenever he was called Malope', said, "No: Mendana;" and, pointing to the admiral, said that was Malope*. This was probably the first instance of an exchange of names one of the most solemn acts of friendship with certain tribes of the Pacific Islanders being effected be...tween a European and a savage. The natives soon learned to shake hands, to embrace, to say " friend, " to shave with razors, and to pare their nails with scissors. This state of amity did not last long, however, and a trivial circumstance caused suspicion, and finally hostility. The savages commenced with arrows, and the Spaniards re taliated with fire and sword. In the evening, Malope* came to the shore, and, in a loud voice, called the admiral by the name of Malope*, and, smiting his breast, declared himself to be Men dana.
