To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
With this breeze, light as it is, you'll get there by day- light. " " Right you are, skipper. We won't fail you, " said the man, as the letter and six sovereigns were passed down into the boat. " What's the matter with the steamer ? " " Oh, nothing much burst a steam-pipe. Now sheer off, lads, as we are ready to start again. " The boat, with its now exceedingly contented crew of three men, veered astern, and a few minutes later word was sent up from the engine-room that the repairs had been eff...ected. The big man again heaved a sigh of satisfaction, as he seized the handle of the engine-room telegraph, and rang down, " Full-speed ahead. " And as Tom, under the effects of the " red wine " which had so kindly been given him, was sleeping heavily, the steamer's paddles once more ploughed up the water, and she headed to the east, away from the land. When the red sun shot up, and illumined a sea that was almost as calm as a mountain tarn, the steamer was twenty leagues from the coast of Australia, and was being driven at her utmost speed, when the man Clancy again appeared on the bridge, followed by a sailor carrying two large mugs of steaming coffee, and a plate of biscuits for the captain and himself.
