To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was found that the prisoners, in some unaccountable manner, had con- trived to loosen and pull out one of the large cubic stones on the bottom of the cellar. Through the aperture thus made, they hauled out the earth, pouring it down the shaft, and incredible as it may seem, they dug a hole throngh gravel, , earth, and stones, under the floor and wall large enough for a man to crawl out I It appears that when the guard went down among them in the night, the prisoners could hear their ' arrang...ements for descending, and instantly replaced the stone and prevented a discovery of their operations. Newel^ bqing a very small man, was the only one who' succeeded in making his escape ; he was never retaken. In the year 1802 the prisoners rose upon the guard. The commander. Colonel Thomas Sheldon, was then sick, and soon after died; all the officers and guard were sick also, except Mr. Dan Forward, a private. With occasional assist- ance of people in the neighborhood, the entire charge of the prisoners, at that time amounting to between thirty and forty, devolved upon him.
