What reading level is "personal Experiences in the Volunteer Navy .. book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
M. we were in the new position with a kedge anchor out astern and port-bower anchor down, and began firing by 12 divisions at the fort, "' Mound," and batteries. The first shot from the enemy touched our main-stay, the next one struck the ship below the water-line ; hauled out the spanker to steady the ship broadside to the enemy ; just then a 30-pounder shell came in through our midship port on the spar-deck and went through one of the launches and the first cutter, lodging in the stern-sheets... of the latter boat.
At 2 o'clock hot coffee was served to all hands. At 4 P. M.
brailed up the spanker, and then a shell from the fort exploded on our chain armor, starboard side. Although many Confede- rate shells burst immediately over the decks of the ship, scatter- ing fragments to both sides, not one of them did us any harm.
Soon after 4 P. M. the Confederate flag was shot away the second time, and considering the firing of the monitors and all of the largest wooden vessels at that time, the gallant enemy held to their guns wonderfully well.
