What reading level is Buccaneers & Pirates of Our Coasts book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As Bonnet had always been rather conventional in his ideas and had respected the customs of the society in which he found himself, he now adopted all the piratical fashions of the day, and when he found himself too far from land' to put the captured crew on shore, he did not hesitate to make them " walk the plank," which was a favorite device of the pirates whenever they had no other way of disposing of their prisoners. The unfortunate wretches, with their hands tied behind them, were compelled..., one by one, to mount a plank which was projected over the side of the vessel and balanced like a see-saw, and when, prodded by knives and cutlasses, they stepped out upon this plank, of course it tipped up, and down they went into the sea. In this way, men, women, and children slipped out of sight among the waves as the vessel sailed merrily on.
In one branch of his new profession Bonnet rap- idly became proficient. He was an insatiable robber and a cruel conqueror. He captured merchant vessels all along the coast as high up as New Eng- land, and then he came down again and stopped for a while before Charles Town harbor, where he took A Greenhorn under the Black Flag 221 a couple of prizes, and then put into one of the North Carolina harbors, where it was always easy for a pirate vessel to refit and get ready for further adventures.
