To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They sailed along the south coast, meetingcontrary winds, and at one point landing nine men who were to cross theisland, and try to reach Isabella by land. Week followed week, and theymade very poor progress. In the beginning of September they were caughtin a severe tempest, which separated the ships for a time, and held theAdmiral weather-bound for eight days. There was an eclipse of the moonduring this period, and he took advantage of it to make an observationfor longitude, by which he found ...himself to be 5 hrs. 23 min. , or 80 deg. 40', west of Cadiz. In this observation there is an error of eighteendegrees, the true longitude of the island of Saona, where the observationwas taken, being 62 deg. 20' west of Cadiz; and the error is accountedfor partly by the inaccuracy of the tables of Regiomontanus and partly bythe crudity and inexactness of the Admiral's methods. On the 24th ofSeptember they at last reached the easternmost point of Espanola, namedby Columbus San Rafael. They stood to the east a little longer, anddiscovered the little island of Mona, which lies between Espanola andPuerto Rico; and from thence shaped their course west-by-north forIsabella.
