What reading level is By the Mast Divided book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Faithful Hale followed behind him as he made his way from his barge up the side of the ship, doing what a good coxswain should to ensure that if his captain missed his footing, or failed to clap on to the manropes, he would not get his shoes and stockings wet.
‘We weigh an hour after the men receive their pay, Mr Roscoe,’ said Barclay in a pleasant tone. ‘We will take up station to cruise off Dover and ensure that when our charges weigh at first light no rascal from the French shore is tempt...ed out to attack them.’ ‘The men will be paid when, sir?’ ‘This very afternoon, of course,’ Barclay replied, ‘but be warned, before any clerks arrive with their money I want the anchor hove short, and we will weigh as soon as possible after they depart. The longer we stay the worse matters will become. I have no intention of turning this ship into Paddy’s Market for the benefit of the sharps and whores of Deal.’ Implementing what he wanted would not be easy – the very necessary act of paying the men before they sailed for the Mediterranean would bring out from the East Kent shore boats by the dozen selling everything from trinkets through sexual congress to spirituous liquor, even if, with the men new to the service, there was not much in the way of coin to be distributed.
