What reading level is Otakou Early Days in And About Otago Harbour book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For some unknown reason the natives living round this part of the coast had grown very hostile to the pakeha, and many un- friendly eyes watched the captain of the Sophia and his men draw up their boat on the sand. Now, living with these Maoris was a lascar who did his best to warn the white men of the danger they were inviting by seeking to land there. These Maoris, he told them, had killed and eaten six men from the brig Matilda which had anchored at that same spot some time before.
Captain K...elly, unable to understand the unfriendly attitude of the natives, walked ashore with his men, merely leaving two to guard the boat. The Maoris seemed quiet enough as the white men made signs that they wished to trade, but suddenly, without any warning, they attacked Kelly and his crew on all sides. Those who guarded the boat were struck down, and only Kelly and three of his men returned to Otakou.
The news of the attack soon spread south- wards, and the Otakou Maoris, hitherto so friendly, made repeated attempts to capture the Sophia.
