What reading level is Further Report On the Bore of the Tsien-Tang-Kiang book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

In the first place there is the difficulty of focus. No boat, of course, is in the river for 5 hours before the flood comes in ; and, in fine weather, there is not sufficient S 11508— 200— 2/93 Wt 24738 D & S, ripple to make a definition clea?- eaoijigii for the purpose. Then, whatever place is selected, it must not be less than 14 feet above the low line of the river, and somewhere at the side. The speed at which the flood approaches is so great, (20 feet a second,) that tl^e. exp.o,8Tjre must... be limited to a fraction of a second. See this impression of a half plate, which I exposed by cap, for one second.
If the sun is obscured, as it generally was with us at the time the Bore passed, this great speed gives th^ photographer a poor chance.
Finally, no photo, whiqh gives a distinct view of the front of the Bore within, .5,00 yards, co^iprises more than a portion of its breadth ; and as the camera is, necessarily, much nearer one side, the highest part of the cascade, which'is 350 yards from the Haining shore and retarded, is not shown to advantage in perspective.
