To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On reaching the ship we found the crew well and hearty. The men had been amply provided with lime- juice, had always some dried vegetables given them to put into their soup, and the captain had left strict orders with the mate that exercise should be taken every day, and that during the winter trees should be felled and cut into firewood ready for use on board the steamer on her voyage home. The consequence of these sanitary pre- cautions was that no symptoms of scurvy had presented themselves.... On the other hand, we afterwards learned that the crew of SiderofPs schooner, which had wintered four degrees farther north, not having been supplied by Captain Schwanenberg with these well-known pre- ventives, had suffered so severely from scurvy that the mate alone survived the winter. Our winter quarters were very picturesque. The Thames was moored close to the north shore of the OUR WINTER QUARTERS 295 Kureika, at the entrance of a small gully, into which it was the captain's intention to take his ship as soon as the water rose high enough to admit of his doing so, and where he hoped to wait in safety the passing away of the ice.
