To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Captain Barker, the senior naval officer, as the deputy of the naval Commander-in-Chief, received the Com- missioners and the Earl of Elgin on board the yacht, and in a short speech expressed his sense of the honour conferred upon himself in being deputed to hand over to the Commissioners this token of goodwill and friend- ship : the Commissioners replied in equally warm terms, and then the English ensigns were hauled down from the Emperor's mastheads and ensign staff, and the Japanese colours ...were substituted. This act being formally carried out, the Japanese forts fronting the city saluted with a royal salute of twenty-one guns ; and uncommonly well they did it too. "We returned it, and assuredly all wiU join in the prayer that the friendship thus saluted may be lasting between us, and beneficial to the good people of Japan. Not the least interesting part of this day's doings was the mov- ing and working of the Emperor, directly she became Japanese, under the management of a native captain, engineer, and crew.
