What reading level is Life in An Indian Outpost book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Below the right eye was the scar of an almost healed wound ; while in the shoulder a hole was still visible but nearly filled up. And five years before, when suffering from a similar attack of madness, it had been shot by the Maharajah with his -500 rifle, and had completely recovered in a very short time from the wounds then received.
In the days of a previous commanding officer of Buxa a tame elephant had been condemned to death on account of old age and infirmity and was handed over to the d...etachment to be shot. A squad ot sepoys with -303 Lee-Enfield rifles was drawn up five paces in front of it and fired a volley at its fore- head. But the elephant only winced at the blows and stood its ground. Then the men drew off to one side and aimed at its heart. A volley here killed it. The British officer had the head skinned and found that the first bullets had only penetrated a very short way into the skull, some of them being flattened against the bone.
* He died in 1913, since this was written.
