To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Chaloner casually mention in the certificate given by them that the naval engagement between the American Sloop Unity and the British armed vessel Margaretta occurred in the month of June, 1775; Dr. Chaloner stating that it was on the 13th, and Captain O'Brien stating that it was on the 11th, of that month. As a matter of fact this engagement occurred on the 12th of June, as Dr. Chaloner un- qualifiedly states; and that Captain O'Brien should have made a mistake of a single day in the certifica...te is not surprising, since it was presumably drawn up, and certainly signed hy him, nearly two years subse- quent to the event referred to, and while he was absent from home and undoubtedly without the memoranda needed to refresh his memory as to dates.
That so many writers, among them several reputable historians, should have, without modification, stated that the naval engagement between the Unity and the Margaretta occurred on the 12th of May, is sur- Oy^'^^^t^ s^-^'e^//p^6 a^ uriC, eV 9*» r C^O-T^ certyytj e^f-^Hy LIFE OF CAPTAIN JEKEMIAH O'BKIEN 167 prising, to say the least, since by reference to original sources of information the exact date of the occur- rence could have been ascertained.
