To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We had scarcely pulled a quarter of a mile when the breeze freshened a little and the brig gradually crept FROM REEFER TO REAR-ADMIRAL. 197 ahead of us and gained on the schooner which had her " sweeps " out. This proved to us that she was not an honest trader, and that she wished to elude us. So our men put their whole strength to their oars, and we could see that, as the wind grew light, our brig, also, got out her sweeps, and also her launch, which was sent in chase, and being some two miles... ahead of us, we feared they would board the chase before us. So I gave my men a drink of grog to set up their backstays, and again they bent to their oars, soon sending our cutter past the brig as she lay almost becalmed. As our launch drew alongside the chase we could see her crew throwing overboard her sweeps and her coppers for cooking rice for slaves, and in the coppers we found some papers they had wished to destroy, with everything that would prove her character.
I took possession of her after the second-lieu- tenant had been on board but a few minutes, and found a Brazilian ensign in the rigging.
