To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
285 As I did not entirely comprehend, — ^thougU I rather guessed, — his precise meaning, I made an evasive answer ; and, arm in arm I was led from the deck to the cahin. When we were per- fectly alone, he pointed to a seat, and frankly declared that I had been betrayed by a Judas to his sergeant of marines ! I was taken perfectly aback, as I imagined myself almost free, yet the loss of liberty did not paralyze me as much as the perfidy of my men. Like a stupid booby, I stood gazing with a fixed... stare at the captain, when the cabin door burst open, and with a shout of joyous merriment the hunters rushed in to greet their comrade.
My dress that morning was a very elaborate neglig^. I had purposely omitted coat, braces, stockings and shoes, so that my privateer costume of trowsers and shirt was not calculated for the reception of strangers. It was natural, therefore, that the first sally of my friendly liberators should be directed against my toilette ; I parried it, however, as adroitly as my temper would allow, by reproaching them with their "unseasonable visit, before I could complete the bath which they saw I was prepared for I " The hint was understood ; but the captain thought proper to tell the entire tale.
