What reading level is Mary Porter Gamewell And Her Story of the Siege in Peking book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
"Contrasted with the monotony we had experi- enced on the lower Yangtse, we had interest and excitement enough when our turn came to be pulled over the rapids of the upper Yangtse. Long tow- lines were thrown to the trackers. The drum sig- naled and the boat swung into the current. Then we saw the men bending almost to the ground, as they tugged at the long ropes, but the boat moved so slowly against the rushing, roaring waters, that it seemed not to move at all. At last, after a half hour of t...ugging trackers, roaring waters, rolling drum, and shouting pilot, our boat passed the two or three hundred yards of rapids, and swung into calmer waters, to repeat the experience at each one of the series of rapids which infest the waters of the upper Yangtse.
"For two weeks our course lay over turbulent waters, through narrow gorges, under frowning precipices, and in the shadow of lofty mountains. A member of our party remarked that she felt op- pressed by the continual grandeur of it all as though she were passing through Hades.
