What reading level is Robert Blake Admiral And General At Sea book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Xvii. 185, 190. ROBERT BLAKE. 119 officers : Batten, Gordon, and Lord Willoughby quitted the service in disgust; and the better sort of seamen, deserting from the enemy's ships, daily returned to their former stations. Some of the repentant crews contrived to carry back their vessels; and it soon became appa- rent that, under such weak and purposeless leaders, the remnant of debauched, quarrelsome and insubordinate seamen at Helvoetsluys could afford little more than a momentary alarm to the co...untry. Nor in all probabi- lity would they have ever again required the attention of a great fleet, had not a new commander appeared, whose iron will and contempt of law and right as be- tween man and man, nation and nation, gave him ad- vantages over captains who contended in the names of liberty and civilisation, and with the weapons which befit those sacred words. 1 Long before the battle of Naseby put an end to the war on a grand scale, Prince Rupert, distrustful of the final issue, had endeavoured to secure some part of the spoil which passed through his hands for his own future use ; but one or two vessels which he had freighted with this plunder fell into the hands of Parliament.
