To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At that time the stranger was about five or six miles from the Rhode Island, and steering in a northeasterly direction. Descriptions of the celebrated Alabama and Florida had been placed in the hands of the Union commanders, and the appearance of this stranger conformed with the description of the former so perfectly (with the exception of the raking masts, which might have been refitted since the description of the Alabama was sent out) that everybody felt sure they were in the presence of the... formidable commerce-destroyer.
Commander Trenchard immediately gave orders to get up a full head of steam, and in a short time the Rhode Island was bound- ing after the chase, pounding the waves with her rapidly revolving paddle-wheels, and splashing the foam behind her like an excited duck. Efforts to increase her speed were made by spreading every inch of canvas that the steamer could carry, and for a time it seemed as if they were gaining. Then again it seemed as if the Rhode Island was no more than holding her own, but after the chase had lasted five hours it was apparent to everyone 228 The Old Navy.
