wikisource also has what I believe is the serial version at
<https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_String_of_Pearls>
I grabbed the expanded version from IA. I downloaded the entire set of files (huge!) I took the jpeg2000 files, converted then to png and attempted to run OCR on a few pages. I think I could copy type them almost as fast. Actually some of the other pages might be better, I only tried pages, 1, 2, and 3.
Generally, images fare very poorly in IA pdf files. I have found that getting the original scans (usually jpeg or jpeg2000 format) results in far better quality images. In the case of A String of Pearls, the pdf quality is quite good, perhaps because the individual images are very big (5103x8052 pixels). Good luck!
