To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" The sea evidently was not as smooth as a mill-pond, for that ship was never heard of again, and twenty-eight of our poor, hard-working, brave fellow-subjects never more returned to gladden their wives and play with their children. Mr. Plimsoll saw a large ship put to sea one day. She was so deep that a friend who was standing by said to him as she went : " She is nothing but a coffin for the poor fellows on board of her. " He watched and watched, almost fascinated by the deadly peril of the c...rew, and he did not watch for nothing. Before he left his look-out to go home, he saw her go down. Even more touching are the records of some visits made by him to the sufferers left behind to mourn the fate of their husbands, drowned in leaky ships which should never have left port. " In this house, No. 9, L 11 Street, lives Mrs. A r R e. Look at her she is not more than, two or three and twenty, and those little ones are hers. She has a mangle, you see. It was subscribed for her by her poor neighbours : the poor are very kind to each other.
