What reading level is History of the Buccaneers of America book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is there said : " The island at which we first anchored hath water on the north end, falling down in a stream from high steep rocks upon the sandy bay, where it may be taken up ". Concerning so essential an article to mariners as fresh water, no information can be too minute to deserve attention. In the manuscript journal, KING JAMES'S ISLAND. 171 Dampier says of the first island at which they anchored : " We found there the largest land turtle I ever saw ; but the island is rocky and barren..., without wood or water". At the next island at which they anchored, both Dampier and Cowley mention fresh water being found. Cowley says: "This bay I called Albany Bay, and another place York Road. Here is excellent sweet water. " Dampier also in the margin of his written journal, where the second anchorage is men- tioned, has inserted the note following : " At the north end of the island we saw water running down from the rocks ". The editor or corrector of the press has mis- takenly applied this to the first anchorage.
