To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Meanwhile, in the hear- ing of both crews, Landais had called out to Cap- tain Cottineau of the Pallas that if the oncoming fleet was convoyed by a ship of more than forty guns there was nothing left them but flight.
With the two ships uncertainly beating about in the rear, Jones pluckily proceeded alone.
Early that morning Captain Pearson of the Sera- pis had been informed that a hostile fleet had been seen in the neighborhood, and signaHng to the great fleet that he convoyed to continue its c...ourse out to sea, he ran to the windward, to place himself between the enemy and his convoy. Dis- regarding his signal, however, his convoy had kept 131 132 JOHN PAUL JONES on its course in the hope of passing Flamborough Head before the enemy appeared from the north ; but when Jones's squadron came in sight to the south of the head, in a wild flight of terror the convoy ran for the port of Scarborough. The Serapis and the Bon Homme Richard had been saiKng along the opposite sides of the headland in such manner that, without changing their courses, they would meet at a point about six miles from shore.
