To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
500 French instantly stormed, the works, killing all but 300 men, who were sent prisoners to France* D'Estrees then destroyed every fort and house in the island, and sailed away.
It was in 1678 that the same Comte D'Estrees collected 1200 Buccaneers from EKspaniola, and twenty vessels of war, be- sides fire-ships, to capture Cura^oa, which could have been taken with 300 Buccaneers and three vessels^ This fleet was, however, lost on the Isles d'Aves, as we shall de- Bcribe in Dampier's voyage.
O...F THE MAIN. 213 In the year 1678, Captain Cook loaded his vessel with logwood, at Campeachy, and, while anchoring at the island of Kubia, on his way to Tobago, was captured by three Spanish men-of-war, who left his crew upon the shore, and carried off his ship and cargo.
They had not lain there long before a Spanish sloop of sixteen men arrived, laden with cocoa and plate, and gave them opportunity for escape and for revenge. Borrowing muskets of the Dutch governor, they employed six of their men in seizing the sloop's boat as it came to land, and then embarked and took the larger vessel, leaving their prisoners bound upon the beach, to watch the combat that would decide their fate.
