What reading level is A Cruise in An Opium Clipper book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
the wind had a tendency to go to the eastward ; but after it had eased itself of its wild rage, and we had got her to E.N.E., it stuck at S. till we were out of all danger, and able to wear ship and proceed on our course to Amoy.
By three p.m. we had all dined after a fashion ; but what was more to the purpose, we had all changed from wet to dry in clothing, and felt again as comfortable as a pug in a lady's lap. At six p.m. the weather had eased so much as to allow of setting the topsail, whic...h, with jibs and staysail, and a new fore-trysail we had bent. We had plenty of hands, which made the work light and easy.
As the sun sank in his western bed, the atmosphere was clear enough for us to make out the land on the port beam distant about eighteen miles.
We had scudded north-easterly about forty miles since the calm centre passed us, and since going on our course of N.W. about another forty miles, so that when we were madly scudding round the centre in the morning, we were never much more than twelve miles from the land.
