What reading level is Ismailia book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
These animals weredriven every evening to the margin of the river, and were only protectedat night by a line of soldiers who slept around them.
The conduct of the natives filled me with suspicions. The sight of solarge a herd without protection might have excited their cupidity. Theyhad expected my arrival with this grand supply of cattle, and instead offinding their villages occupied, I had observed that their own herds hadbeen driven off for concealment; not a woman or child was to be seen in...the country; the natives had refused to carry; and, lastly, their sheikand his people had absolutely absconded.
In the mean time my cattle were unprotected at night, thus, should thenatives make a sudden attack in the darkness, there would be a regularstampede, as the large herd would be seized with a panic at the redflashes of the muskets during the attack, and they would scatter allover the country, and never be seen again.
The natives had probably considered that, instead of carrying our loads, and thereby earning a cow per man, it might save them much troubleshould they possess themselves of our cattle without the necessity ofcarrying the baggage.
