To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The bilges need scaling. It was found impossible to thoroughly inspect them during the cruise, but evidence of scale could be observed in many places. 21. The ship's battery is only in fair shape. It consists of two 3-pounder guns, six 6-pounder guns, and two 1-pounder guns. The two 3-pounder guns are the only ones that are in any respect modern. They have telescopic sights and deflection drums. The 6-pounder guns are antiquated, have open sights, and only two are fitted with deflection gear, a...nd these are of a very poor and practically useless type. Good results for present-day firing could scarcely be expected with any but the 3-pounder guns. Three of the 6-pounder guns have no firing pins and there are no spare ones on board. The accessory boxes of the 3-pounder guns are in good shape, with few missing articles. One accessory box of the 1-pounder guns is in fair shape; the other con tains only a few odds and ends. The 6-pounder accessory boxes have practically nothing in the n. New accessory boxes should be supplied for these guns.
