What reading level is Captain Bens book a Record of Things Which Happened to Capt Benjamin J Will book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The building of Half Way Rock Light-house began in 1869, and it was first lighted August 15, 187 1. This light is very valuable to masters and pilots coming into Portland from the east, and no doubt has saved many lives and a large amount of property. By its aid vessels get into port or shelter from strong gales, when otherwise thej^ would have to haul off from the coast and take the consequences. Many coasters, perhaps most, are not prepared to meet bad gales.
The light-house board made a bad ...mistake in 1855, when the western Cape Light was discontinued. Captains on long voj^ages and unaware of the change w^ould, on reaching the coast by night and seeing but one light, invariably keep off if the wind were fair, and go to Seguin. There, too, they would find but one light, and in consequence would be completeh^ puzzled as to their position. Several vessels came near being wrecked b}^ the change. In 1856 the pilots and masters petitioned Congress for a return of the old method of lighting, and the change back to two lights was made.
