To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Since Friday morning (forty-eight hours) they had had no rest and very little food, as we could not conveniently cook. They had been hard at work all night, ai'd nothing to eat for breakfast except hard bread, and were thoroughly worn out. As for myself, I had not slept a wink for fifty-one hours and had been on my feet almost constantly. But after the first gun was fired we forgot all fatigues, hard work and everything else, and went to work fighting as hard as men ever fought. We loaded and f...ired as fast as we could. I pointed and fired the guns myself. Every shot I would ask the Captain the effect and the majority of them were encouraging. The Captain was in the pilot-house directing the movements of the vessel. Acting Master Stodder was stationed at the wheel which turns the tower, but as he could not manage it he was relieved by Stimers. The speaking trumpet from the tower to the pilot house was broken, so we passed the word from the Captain to myself on the berth deck, by Paymaster Keeler and Captain's clerk Toffey.
