To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The last plunge of a large ship, as every sea- man knows, is likely to carry down all on board. The suction caused by the sinking hull draws down all objects in this terrify- ing vortex, and the strongest swimmer is powerless against it. Left alone on the ship, the Captain and Allard watched the ship slowly settle. The crew, having retreated to a safe distance, rested on the oars and waited for the final plunge. The three American seamen mean- while proved invaluable in keeping the boats in tou...ch with the merchant-ship by signal- ing. Allard, standing on the bridge beside the Captain, directed Downy and Goulach, by wigwagging, the distance they were to keep from the ship, and kept them informed of her condition. Several hours later the Captain began to hope that his ship might still be saved. An examination of the water in the hold decided him to make the effort. Allard was directed to call in the boats and the crew by his sig- nals, and once aboard all hands set to work. The ship was finally beached in safety.
