To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
... I hastily seized a rope, and by means of a tremendous leap fell into the boat ; the same wave which saved my life carried away my two children. ... It would be difficult to describe the horror of this terrible disaster, the cries of those still on board the ship, and the harrowing spectacle of those who, having thrown themselves into the waves, were making useless efforts to gain the beach. . . . Seven living men at last found themselves on the shore of that unknown land . . . and (in the e...vening) it was a heartrending sight which presented itself when a hundred and fourteen corpses were stretched on the sand, many of them with arms and legs broken, or bearing other marks of the fury of the elements." For weeks the fugitives wandered about the woods, and at last were rescued by a party of Indians thirty leagues from Louisbourg. The indefatigible La Corne crossed in a birch-bark canoe from Cape Breton to the mainland, and, travelling five hundred and fifty leagues on snow-shoes, came again to Quebec.
