To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Major's manner for a day or two had been rather moody, and when Prof, intimated to me that we would have a lively time before we saw another camp, I knew some difficult passage ahead was on his mind ; some place which had given him trouble on the first trip. About five o'clock we were ready; everjrthing was made snug and tight on the boats, nothing being left out of the cabins but a camp kettle in each standing-room for bailing, and we cast off. Each man had his life-preserver where he coul...d get it quickly, and the Major put his on, for with only one arm he could not do this readily in case of necessity. The current Digitized byGoogk 130 A Canyon Voyage was swift. We were carried rapidly down to where the gorge narrowed up with walls vertical on each side for a height of fifty to one hundred feet. We soon dashed through a small rough rapid. A splash of water over our bow dampened my clothes and made the air feel chilly. The canyon was growing dim with the evening light. High above our heads some lazy clouds were flecked with the sunset glow.
