To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The wind was from the northward : the bergs that hemmed in the loose drift around us yielded a little toward the west, and the skreed began to separate. The main- brace was spliced ; springs took the place of warps ; and the men went gallantly to their work. They were as anxious to get out as any of us.
"At last we reached an opening : two immense THE ESCAPE 471 bergs, overhanging and ragged ; and down toward the water-line, an opening between them like a gateway.
Shall we pass ? We have seen s...o many disruptions, and capsizings, and accidents of all sorts in this work of anchor-planting: sometimes a mere breath brings down masses that would bury half a dozen such ves- sels as ours ; and these bergs are so water-washed and pendulous. Murdaugh waited for the order. De Ha- ven gave it ; and, in deep silence, we passed the Gades of the Devil's Trap.
"August 19, Tuesday. The Rescue is close astern of us: she got through about noon yesterday. Our commodore has resolved on an immediate return to the United States." The game had been played out fairly.
