To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Friday, 22nd September. — A calm day. We squared the yards, and started shifting sail again ; very hot work, as we are working like demons to beat the port watch. We can still see the Loudoun Hill down to her topsails on the lee beam. Saturday, 2$rd September. — We have lost the trades, and are in the doldrums, busy bracing the yards up to any puff that comes along. 136 THE SOUTH SEAS The Loudoun Hill is out of sight to leeward. The dolphins are still showing off their beauty alongside, but the...y will not take a bait, and no- body is skilful enough to grain them, as at the very sight of the grain poised above the rail, they dive deeper into the water or swim just out of range. I had a long yarn with the bosun to-day. He is a fairly well-to-do man for the bosun of a sailing-ship, as, until this voyage, he had left the sea for ten years, having married a woman with money, and having taken to farming in Cali- fornia, where he seems to be doing very well, and talks like an expert on the subject.
