What reading level is Alaska And Its Resources book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Whales are abundant, not only north of Bering Strait, but also all over Bering Sea, especially in the neighborhood of Bristol Bay. They are also common in the Gulf of Alaska. The Clio borealis, a minute moUusk which forms the principal food of the whale in the North Atlantic, is wanting in Bering Sea. Careful and repeated observations have failed to detect any such mollusk north of the Catherina Archipelago. The principal food of the whale in these waters is the so-called "brit, " a reddish scu...m which covers the surface of the sea for miles, and is composed of minute crustaceans. The sperm whale, attracted perhaps by the abun- dance of cuttlefish {Octopi) is said to visit the Alaskan coast occasionally. Multitudes of small whales are found about the Aleutian Islands, and the hunting of the beluga or white whale in the various inlets near Norton Sound has elsewhere been described.
Mr. Davidson suggests the employment of smaller vessels, manned by Aleutians, in the whale fishery. These might be laid up in winter in some of the numerous harbors of the islands, while their cargoes might be sent south in larger ships.
