To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
By that time our ship was almost help- less; our engine-rooms and stokeholds were flooded, owing to a projectile having penetrated below the water-line, so that we could not obtain steam for the engines. Shells or heavy armour-piercing shot had penetrated almost everything. The ship was also making water badly, and there was a fire in the after part of the vessel. Part of the ship's company was all this time engaged with the hose in trying to put out the fire, and the men not required for that ...were 188 THE HEROIC RECORD set to work to construct rafts, for the ship was grad- ually settling down. At 6.30 the order was given to cease fire, for we had, by that time, lost all trace of the German Fleet, and the Warrior was regarded as being out of action. As soon as the fire was got under control, we commenced to identify the dead, who were that night buried (the funeral service being held the next day), and to get up the wounded.
That being done, all hands were set to work at the pumps so as to keep the ship afloat, and we had to keep them going all night.
