To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To the Vice-Admiral at Dover fell the responsibility of deciding whether we should start or not. After a discussion on the telephone the die was cast — we were ordered to "proceed in execution of previous orders." The order was passed to the ships and the requisite preparations were put in hand immediately. We raised steam without delay. Baggage, final let- ters, and all unnecessary paraphernalia were disem- barked. Once again determination and expectancy had expanded into enthusiasm. The time ...for "ac- tion" had arrived. I do not think we had any feelings of anxiety now except with regard to the weather. Surely nothing would prevent the culmination of all our hopes at this eleventh hour. No suggestion of failure ever occurred to us. Our confidence in the face of the many obstacles, when considered in cold blood months after- wards, may have seemed to be almost an imperti- nence. Everybody knew exactly what was expected of him. There was no actual excitement except that inseparable from intense enthusiasm.
