What reading level is Marlborough Sounds the Waters of Restfulness book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In 1839 there were forty of these shore-whalers in T. E Awaiti, thirty at Port Underwood, and here and there smaller settlements along the coast. Their gangs of men were often supplemented, sometimes wholly drawn, from the neighbouring Maoris ; at Port Underwood a hundred Maoris helped the whites, and in Robin Hood Bay all were Maoris. The whalers had Maori wives and half-caste children. John Guard, who brought his wife with him, was the one exception to this; and his eldest son was the first w...hite child born in the South Island of New Zealand.
Living was not the peaceful matter in those early days that it is now in the bays. There were inter- First Whaler's Cottage, Robin Hood Bay (McCittker, pliotoi tribal wars in which the whalers became involved through the ardent partizanship of their native wives ; there were quarrels with the Maoris which often resulted in the plundering of their stations; there were their own quarrels and fights and orgies of drunkenness and licentiousness. They were a hard- living, hard-drinking, hard-swearing community, untrammelled by the gentle amenities of life: rough, turbulent, generous, hospitable, unmerciful ; as oblivious to the reek of their oil-soaked surroundings as to the lawlessness of their ways.
