To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
r 20 O 3-1 •CO o^ THE ISLAND OF RHODE ISLAND 215 Naval Depot there between 1901 and 1906 have described their work to me in such a way as to make it certain that the place where the rocks are indicated on Stiles's chart is now occupied by wharfs, walls and filling; and they noticed no rocks with inscriptions.
Discussions concerning the origin of these inscriptions have been numerous ; but since they are always connected with those of Tiverton, it will be well to postpone examination of them unt...il the latter have been considered. We may notice concern- ing them, however, that they include nothing that resembles alphabetic characters, nothing that suggests even pictographs symbolizing definite objects, conveying a message or preserving a record. Some of them may be the expression of a mere rest- less and aimless desire to be doing something, as one scratches idle lines in sand or on paper. So far as they exhibit definite purpose, their motif appears to be exclusively decorative. They must probably be regarded, therefore, merely as ornamental lines mingled with meaningless scribblings.
