To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Murray, and Lieut. Dale, * who, like their com- mander, took no counsel from fear, were ready to enter into the contest.
Instantly all hands were beat to quarters, and with fear- less promptitude repaired to them. The sea was still in terrible commotion from the gale, and the rival ships went furiously into action. The combat was long and doubtful, and the first signal of a cessation of it, was the extinguish- ment of the battle-lanterns of the Iris, which enveloped her again in darkness.
The e...xulting victors were about to board the Iris, as a prize, when the Monk, which had before taken but little part in the action, gained a raking position — run directly under the stern of the Trumbull, which was almost bat- tered to pieces, and poured into her a succession of raking broadsides.
In this dreadful situation — the ship unmanageable — Lieuts. Murray and Dale severely wounded, and more than one third of the crew killed or bleeding upon the deck, or in the cockpit, Capt. Nicholson, cool and collected, low ered the flag of the gallant little Trumbull.
