What reading level is Naval Battles Ancient And Modern book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
517 This left the ship of the American commanding officer, in the middle of the action, without an available gun. The only thing to be done was to immediately attempt to wind the ship.
A stream anchor which was suspended astern was let go. The men then clapped on the hawser that led to the starboard quarter, and brought the ship's stern up over the kedge ; but here she hung, there not being sufficient wind or current to force her bows round. A line had been bent to the bight in the stream cable..., with a view to help wind the ship, and she now rode by the kedge, and this line, with her stern exposed to the steady and well directed fire of the Linnet. The port battery having been manned, Captain McDonough ordered all the men from the guns, where they were uselessly suffering, and sent them forward. By rowsing on the line, the ship was at length got so far round that the port aftermost gun would bear upon the Confiance, and it was instantly manned, and began to fire. The next gun was used in the same manner ; but it was soon apparent that the ship could be got no further round, for she was nearly end on to the wind.
