To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The small vessels having by this time " got within grape and canister distance," threw in close discharges from their side. The commanding officer of die Queen Charlotte, finding himself exposed to be raked ahead and astern, was the first to give up; one of her officers appeared on the taffrail of that ship, and waved a white handkerchief, bent to a boarding- pike, in token that she had struck. The Detroit had become completely unmanageable; every brace was cut away, the mizzen-top-mast and gaf...f were down, the other masts badly wounded, not a stay left forward, the hull very much shattered, and a few guns disabled; at three, or a few minutes after, Lieutenant Inglis was therefore under the necessity of hail- ing the Americans, to say he surrendered. The Hunter yielded at the 152 State of New York same time, as did the Lady Prevost, which lay to leeward under the guns of the Niagara. The Chippewa, on the right of the British line, and the Liltle Belt, on the extreme left, endeavored to escape; but the first was stopped by Champlin, in the Scorpion; the other by Holdup Stevens in the Trippe.
