What reading level is Narrative of the North Polar Expedition. U.S. Ship Polaris, Captain Charles Francis Hall Commanding book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As a large flock of brent-geese was flying past the vessel at a distance of not more than fifty yards, Hobby kiUed one with a ball from a Sharp's rifle.
On the 3d, from 2 to 4 a. m., rain fell. At 2 a,, m.
of the 4th, a very high tide brought off the large floe to which the Polaris was attached,' and, as it floated off, the hawser which connected it with the vessel parted; the ice in general was loosened, and some sunken pieces rose up, striking the ship with considerable force. The hummocky pi...eces forced her astern, and her motion in that direction was accelerated by attempts to haul in the cable. The consequence was that the ship grounded, and, at low water, there was at the stern a depth of four feet less than she drew. At the next high tide, however, she again easily floated. During the day, a great many dovekies were shot, and about two dozen snipes. The sun at mid- night now disappeared behind the bluff.
At 1.30 a. m. on the 5th, all hands were startled by Shoemaker. 403 a very severe blow which the vessel received on her star- 1872.
