To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Of course the work cannot be carried on except in fair weather. Hand-pulling is possible only during the bi-monthly periods of spring tides, that is, when the moon is full and again at new moon. At such times high tides occur about midday and midnight, and the ledges are exposed for moss gathering morning and evening. The mossers' boats are rowed to the rocks where the finest grades abound, and the gatherers select with care the growths that are freest from minute shells and other foreign matte...r. This portion of the crop, if properly handled afterwards, generally goes to the apothecary, and fetches a price two or three times that of the common grade. As the tide rises the pickers are driven to their boats, and proceed to the outer moss- bearing rocks, where the rake is used, as it also is during ordinary low tides. Moss taken in this way is not so clean as the hand-picked, and is always mixed with tape grass, which must be removed during the process of curing and packing. Seaweed and its Uses.
