To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
AVednesday we stood back with Bravo, but found very inconvenient anchoring and rough ground, THE DISCOVERY OF GUIANA. 167 and that night having the Vice-admiral with me at supper, myself being newly come from the shore to feel out a better road, a hurricane fell upon us with most violent rain, and broke both our cables at the instant, greatly to the damage of the ship and all our lives, but it pleased God that her head cast from the shore and drove off. I was myself so wet as the water ran in a...t my neck, and out at my knees, as if it had been poured on me with pails. All the rest of our fleet lost their cables and anchors ; 3 of our small men that rode in a cove, close under the land, had like all to have perished ; Captain Snedul grated on the rocks ; Wulleston and King escaped them not their ship's length.
Thursday we stood up upon a tack to recover the island, for I had sent off my skiff to fish not half a quarter of an hour before the hurricane, and I gave her lost and six of my men in her to my great discomfort, having had so great mortality ; but I thank my God I found them in the morning under the shore and recovered them, but I lost another of my pinnaces called The Fifty Crowns because I paid fifty crowns to the French men for her in this storm.
