To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was the sight of the fewsticks that are left of the frigate Congress, stranded near theshore, --and still more, the masts of the Cumberland rising midway outof the water, with a tattered rag of a pennant fluttering from one ofthem. The invisible hull of the latter ship seems to be careened over, so that the three masts stand slantwise; the rigging looks quiteunimpaired, except that a few ropes dangle loosely from the yards. Theflag (which never was struck, thank Heaven!) is entirely hidden u...nderthe waters of the bay, but is still doubtless waving in its old place, although it floats to and fro with the swell and reflux of the tide, instead of rustling on the breeze. A remnant of the dead crew still manthe sunken ship, and sometimes a drowned body floats up to the surface. That was a noble fight. When was ever a better word spoken than that ofCommodore Smith, the father of the commander of the Congress, when heheard that his son's ship was surrendered? "Then Joe's dead!" said he;and so it proved.
