To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In seven days she had reached the Banks of Newfoundland; across which she was moving rapidly, through a thick fog, when, by a sudden collision with another steamer, her bow was stove in, and the vessel so much injured by the magnitude of the fracture, that every effort failed to keep her afloat, or to rescue the larger part of the passengers. Thus, on the 27th September, after a lapse of five hours from the time of the encounter, that splended ship, yielding to the increased rush of waters, was... overwhelmed and sunk. In an instant the ship went down, carrying every soul on board with her. Far removed from all human aid, "I saw," says Captain Luce, -" moTe than two hundred men, women 6 and children, struggling amidst pieces of the wreck, calling upon each other and upon Almighty God, for help;" nearly all of whom sank, after a few convul- sive efforts, beneath the rolling waves of the sea ! The captain saw Mr. Morris, when the ship went down; and well remembers him. He was active in saving others, but fell a victim himself.
