To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I was not long in answering his call and as soon as I got on deck I found it was necessary to shorten sail, and I told the mate to call all hands and reef the topsails. I put two reefs in and sent the men below. It was now my watch on deck and I carried the double-reefed topsails till dayUght, when the gale increased and I had to close-reef, and for two days we had very heavy gales with furious squalls. We made good headway but did not get the northeast trades till we reached latitude 21° north.... We carried them to 5° north and then took the southeast trades with only one day's calm, crossing the line after the very short 67 passage of twenty-three days from New York. The trades were light and we had pleasant weather. Seven days after crossing the line we made the Island of Trinidad at four o'clock in the afternoon. This was a great satis- faction and gave me great relief. It not only showed me that my chronometers were going well but that my observations were correct and that there was no trouble about my navigation.
