What reading level is Mongolia, the Tangut Country, And the Solitudes of Northern Tibet book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A second bullet caused him to renew the charge, and at last, when forty paces off, I killed him with my Digitized by VjOOQIC THE VULNERABLE SPOT. 199 seventh shot. I now had no difficulty in finishinjj the one with the broken leg, and thus secured three of these huge beasts in a few minutes without stirring from my place. On examining the slain animals more closely, I found that all seven bullets fired at the one which charged had lodged in his chest, and stuck there like a row of buttons.
Know...ing with what force a rifle will project a bullet at nearly point-blank range, I was amazed at the prodigious strength displayed by this animal in resisting seven such tremendous blows.
After great experience in yak-shooting I am convinced that one cannot do better than aim behind the shoulder of the left side if possible, for the bullet will go right through and lodge under- neath the skin of the opposite side after touching some vital part. But a rifle bullet of small calibre, such as the Berdan, even if it touch the heart, does not of necessity instantaneously kill an old bull, who will often run for several minutes after receiving such a wound.
