To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The transports which bore the Hessian division were also brought up in Gravesend Bay, a little after 9 in the morning, and their disembarkation was directed by Admiral Lord Howe in person. The landing of this great force could not have been prevented by any means the Americans possessed, under the guns of so formidable a marine force, and no attempt was made to do so. But active watch was kept on the East River, where the sentinels were instructed to pre- vent any vessel passing the sunken hulk...s near Governor's " Island except between the Albany pier and a mast in the " river nearly opposite." Four days elapsed before the battle of Long Island took place, in which engagement the now well-known vessels took but little part, though the "Roebuck," another 32-gun frigate, worked her way into Gowanus Bay, and actively engaged the garrison of "Fort Defiance" on Red Hook.
Away to the east, in anticipation of the British General's plan of enveloping the American army, two frigates, the "La Brune" and the "Niger," were anchored in Flushing Bay, with a bomb-ketch, their boat crews being occupied in sallies along the inlets of the Bronx and Eastchester, helping themselves to fresh meat and provender at the expense of the unfortunate Westchester farmers.
