To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Off Cape Belcher we bade a last good-bye to the ice ; it was lying about in small floes. From that time we saw no further trace of it. I was quite prepared to find that we had sprung a leak in our last encounter with the ice ; but, on the contrary, the boat was tighter than ever.
Instead of two hundred strokes of the pump in one watch, we now needed barely forty. But the old leakage reappeared soon after.
On August 24th we were becalmed for the first time.
So long as we had a good wind, it was ...easy enough to pretend we could do just as well without an engine ; but things were different now, and, unable to restrain our annoyance, we vented it on the engineer. " Now then, Smith, why haven't you got the ' coffee-mill ' going ? " Jeers and jibes poured down through the engine-room skylight on the heads of the unfortunate engineers, who were perspiring in their efforts to repair the defect, if possible.
Since we left the Greenland coast we had never seen a walrus ; here we saw several, but never any consider- able number of them.
