To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The moment we dropped our anchor, the captain went on shore; and I foundthat, to be beforehand with any of us who might inform against him, hehad given his own version of Taylor's death; which, of course, his matewas ready to corroborate. When he returned on board, he gave atriumphant glance forward, as much as to say, I have you still in mypower. So he had, as we found when once more we were at sea. I wasglad that the young lad Thompson, whom he had so ill-treated, desertedthe day before we sa...iled, and, I believe, entered aboard a man-of-war, where he was safe. While in harbour we had been quiet enough, but we had not been two daysat sea before the captain and mate commenced their old system oftyranny. Everybody was ill-treated, and this time I was the chiefvictim. Kicked and struck on the slightest pretext, and compelled toperform the most disgusting offices, I soon felt myself a degraded beingboth in body and mind; and when I thought of what I had been on boardthe _Juno_, and what I now was, I shrunk from making the comparison.
