To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On the tenth they sailed away again, and Dampier dis- covered the White Island, which he so named from its many white cliffs. It was in latitude 3 4' S. , and 512 miles east of Babao. At a distance of three leagues from New Guinea thirty-seven fathoms of water were registered. Another island, where cockles abounded, he named Cockle Island. On the morning of the seventh the commander sent his boat ashore on Pigeon Island. In the afternoon the men returned, bringing twenty-two pigeons and many co...ckles some very large, some small. They also brought one empty shell which weighed no less than two hundred and fifty-eight pounds.
Next evening they anchored in forty-two fathoms, near King William's Island, where they went ashore next morning, drank his Majesty's health, and honoured it with his name. It was about two leagues and a half in length, very high, and extraordinarily well clothed with woods. The trees were of divers sorts, all very green and flourishing ; many of them had flowers, some white, some purple, others yellow, all which smelt very fragrantly.
