To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Twelve days and nights the storm bellowed along the treacherous coast, and not till November 23rd could the Imperial fleet set sail for the coast of Spain.
There was mourning in Castile that Yuletide.
Besides eight thousand rank and file, three hundred oflScers of birth had fallen victims to the storm or the Moorish lance. Algiers teemed with Christian captives, and it became a common saying that a Christian slave was scarce a fair barter for an onion So ended this famous expedition. It was beg...un in glory, and ended in shame. The whole of Christen- dom, one might say — for there were English knights there, like Sir Thomas Challoner, as well as Germans, Frenchmen, Spaniards, and Italians in the army— THE GRAVE OF THE KNIGHTS. I23 had gone forth to destroy a nest of pirates, and behold, by the fury of the elements and the foolish- ness of their own counsels, they were almost destroyed themselves. They had left behind them ships and men and stores and cannon : worse, they had left Algiers stronger and more defiant than ever.
