To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I have stated that the vessel, when afloat with some of her stores, was so deeply immersed as to leave a space of only one foot between the paddle-shaft and the water-line, the paddle-wheels being thus nearly half immersed in the water. I will now proceed to relate the result of our first trial with the Victory afloat, and fast to her moorings. On starting the engines it was soon evi- dent that although the extreme diameter of the paddle-wheels was only eleven feet, six inches, the utmost speed... which could be obtained was sixteen revolutions per minute, averaging even under fifteen. But what was far more discouraging, was the 10 trifling tension on the hawser which held the vessel to her moor- ings, and which could not have escaped an experienced eye. This was, in itself, a conclusive proof that the paddles were too deeply immersed in the water, besides being boxed up in such a manner as to prevent a free current to and from the wheels. A few figures will readily satisfy the reader what the tension on the hawser ought to have been, and that the power of the engines was po- sitively wasted, instead of being employed to urge the vessel for- ward.
