To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Allen, whichmade a summer crossing and cruised for a month on end in the Irish Seaand in the chops of the Channel with a gorgeous recompense for hershameless audacity. England scolded herself red in the face while thesaucy _Argus_ captured twenty-seven ships and took her pick of theirvaluable cargoes. Her course could be traced by the blazing hulls thatshe left in her wake and this was how the British gun brig _Pelican_finally caught up with her.
Although the advantage of size and armament was ...with the _Pelican_, itwas to be expected that the _Argus_ would prove more than a match forher. The American commander, Captain Allen, had played a distinguishedpart in several of the most famous episodes of the navy. As thirdlieutenant of the _Chesapeake_, in 1807, he had picked up a live coal inthe cook's galley, held it in his fingers, and so fired the only gundischarged against the _Leopard_ in that inglorious surprise andsurrender. As first officer of the frigate _United States_ he receivedcredit for the splendid gunnery which had overwhelmed the _Macedonian_, and he enjoyed the glory of bringing the prize to port.
