To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Every nail and screw now found was carefully preserved, there being none in store. The Polaris had been so faithfully built that it was no easy task to break her up. It was necessary to reduce the wood to splinters to take it off. In carrying this wood to the house on the 29th, it was found that the high tide had overflowed the ice and raised the water up to within twelve paces of the door. The effect of a residence of two winters in the Arctic regions was now apparent in the diminished strengt...h of the people, who were easily fa tigued by slight labor.
During January, the highest temperature recorded was 8. 5; the lowest was 41, 6; while the mean was 27. 8.
The whole of the second day was occupied in tear ing down the wheel-house; on the next day, the wood was taken to the house, making fuel enough for two days. The heavy northerly gales had kept the ice in motion, and con stantly increased the extent of the open water. The edge of the floe was not more than a mile distant from the ves sel, and the west side of McGary s Island was washed by the sea.
