To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The passengers passed a miserable night, huddled up, as they were without room to stretch their weary limbs. I pilied them from my soul, and it was sickening to see them drink the filthy water. I could not refuse to give one or two of them a mouthful from the cask upon the quarter deck, which fortunately was filled lower down the river. They asked for it so pitifully, and were so thankful ; but I could not satisfy all and regretted the disappointment of many. They had on their best clothes, and... were all clean, with the exception of one incorrigible family. The doctor came on board in the forenoon, to inspect the passengers, who were all called on deck, but those who were unable. Plac- ing himself at a barrier, he allowed each to pass, one by one ; making those he suspected of being feverish, show their tongues. This proceeding lasted about a quarter of an hour; when the doctor went into the hold to examine those below, and to see if it were clean ; he then wrote out the order to admit the six patients to hospital, and promised to send the steamer to take the remainder ; after which we should have clean bills.
