To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Was it luck or some mal-intending demon which ar- ranged to get him the berth for Bangkok on the seedy, super-annuated Palestine ("Judea. London. Doe or Die. ") ? At any rate, it was luck to Conrad. His first voyage as Second Mate. An altogether memorable af- fair. It began in 1881. His first voyage to the East and his skipper's first command. The ship, about 400 tons, was all rust, dust, grime aloft, dirt on deck. They struck 10 the famous October gale of 1881. They sank, nearly, twice, before... they finally got started, they caught on fire in the Indian Ocean, and had to put off in open boats. . . .
Did they get to Bangkok ? Well, not quite. But Java. It sufficed, especially when you have been days on end in an open boat, your head bared to the scorching sun and the salt lash of the sea's fury. An occasion worthy of the story that enshrines it "Youth. " There were to be three more eastern voyages in the years that followed, long passages, the longest an inter- minable one of one hundred and thirty days, a bad pas- sage.
