To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
After a time the channel in which the canoe was sailing widened, and M. Burdo was in hopes that his difficulties were so far over, and that his further progress would be unimpeded. But he soon discovered that the creek, instead of leading in the direction of the Niger, was evidently bearing them towards the sea, and presently the water became quite salt. Darkness fell : the channel became wider and wider, and presently a light was descried on the bank. The canoe was steered for the welcome beac...on, but the current now became so strong that the voyagers were borne past the light and hurried rapidly towards the open ocean. A noise as of breaking surf was now heard, and a white line was visible straight ahead. A new danger threatened the party. The white line could only be the surf dashing against the reefs that barred the mouth of the river. Anchor was at once cast, and the canoe brought up with so sudden a shock as almost to break the cable. The Kroomen slept, but M. Burdo's anxiety was too great to admit of slumber.
