To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But had the governor been in our power, he would, in all probability, have treated for a ransom, which would have been extremely advan- tageous both to him and us : whereas, he being now at liberty, and having collected all the force of the country, for many leagues round, and having even got a body of militia from Piura, which was fourteen leagues distant, he was so elated with his numbers, and so fond of his new military command, that he seemed not to trouble himself about the fate of his gov...ernment. So that though Mr. Anson ■ sent several messages to him by the inhabitants, who were in our power, desiring him to enter into a treaty for the ransom of the town and goods ; giving him, at the same time, an intimation that he should be far from insisting on a rigorous equivalent, but perhaps might be satisfied with some live cattle, and a few necessaries for the use of the squadron, and assuring him too, that if he would not condescend at least to treat, he would set fire to the town and all the warehouses ; yet the governor was so imprudent and arrogant, that he despised all these reiterated appUcations, and did not deign even to return the least answer to them.
