To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
From the second island, Varnhagen's track co- incides in the main with others to be discussed, and need not be con- sidered separately. Washington Irving makes Cat Island to be Guanahani, and his theory, given as it is in full in his life of Columbus, has become widely known and has obtained considerable support. Although as far as Cat Island itself is considered there is no discrepancy with the bits of description given of San Salvador, there are difficulties met with that seem insuperable in ...following Columbus therefrom. Irving's second island (Conception Cay) is SSE. From Cat Island, although, as already stated, Columbus said he should sail SW. The third island in this track is Exuma, and the fourth, Long. In order to reach Exuma, the ships would have had to pass close to Long Island, and could not have avoided seeing it. The log states that on leaving the second island the ships went to the land in sight, but Irving makes them pass it and push on towards Exuma, which is not visible even from Long Island.
