To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Our proximity to the shore compelled, as our only hopes of safety, the absolute necessity of holding to it ; we consequently secured with a chain stream and hemp cable three six and two five-inch hawsers, three of which were passed round it. In this state we were forced along, sinking large pieces beneath the bottom, and sustaining a heavy strain against the stern and rudder ; the latter was much damaged, but to unship it at present was impossible. At 1 p.m. the pressure eased, from the ice bec...oming stationary, when it was unhung and laid upon a large floe piece, where, by 8 p.m., owing to the activity of Mr. Ford, the carpenter, who is always ready to meet any emergency, it was repaired, just as the ice began again to be in motion ; but as the tackles were hooked, it was run up to the davits without further damage. We were now setting fast upon another large piece of a broken floe, grounded in nine fathoms upon the debris formed at the mouth of a large river. Feeling confident that should we be caught between this and what we were fast to, the ship must inevitably go to pieces, and - yet being aware that to cast off would certainly send us on the beach, from which we were never distant 80 yards, upon which the smaller ice was hurled as it came in contact with these grounded masses, I sent John Kerr (gunner's mate), under very difficult circumstances, to endeavour to reach it and effect its destruction by blasting.
