To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was not possible to land there; and we went on to twolarger isles lying near a projecting point of the main, which has fourhillocks upon it presenting the form of a double saddle, and proved to becaptain Cook's _Red Point_. The isles were inaccessible as the others;and it being dark, we were constrained to pass a second night in TomThumb, and dropped our stone anchor in 7 fathoms, under the lee of thepoint.
The sea breeze, on the 27th, still opposed our return; and learning fromtwo Indians t...hat no water could be procured at Red Point, we acceptedtheir offer of piloting us to a river which, they said, lay a few milesfurther southward, and where not only fresh water was abundant, but alsofish and wild ducks. These men were natives of Botany Bay, whence it wasthat we understood a little of their language, whilst that of some otherswas altogether unintelligible. Their river proved to be nothing more thana small stream, which descended from a lagoon under Hat Hill, and forceda passage for itself through the beach; so that we entered it withdifficulty even in Tom Thumb.
