To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The gold was wrought into ornaments, and the pearls, though most of them large and perfect in shape, had been injured by fire, with which the Indians had opened the shells.
All this treasure Ttmiaco presented to Balboa, and when he saw with what joy it was received, and tmderstood that the pearls were especially appreciated, he sent a party of his divers to search for more. Thirty naked Indians, accustomed all their lives to dive for pearls, went down the coast in a canoe, accompanied by six Sp...aniards as witnesses ; but the sea was so rough that they dared not fish in deep water, where the large pearl-oysters lay. The storm, however, had caused a great number of oysters to be wash- i8S VASCO NUNEZ DE BALBOA ed ashore, and there they collected more than ninety ounces of small though perfect pearls, which were freely given to the Span- iards. The best of these, with specimens of the oysters from which they were taken, were set apart by the conscientious Balboa, as an acceptable gift to his sovereign.
