What reading level is Soldiers Stories And Sailors Yarns book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This brought the frigate right astern. Suddenly she seemed to wake up ; the men crowded into the rigging, her helm was put up, and a blank cartridge was fired to make us heave-to. By this time we had increased our lead considerably. The frigate yawed to fire a shell at us ; but it burst some distance astern. We settled down for the race. I could hardly hope that we should win it ; the sea was so high that the yacht had much more water to go through than her oppo- nent, who, being ten times her ...size, did not rise and fall with each wave.
How exciting the first hour of the chase was ! The distance between us did not seem to diminish, but we had more sails set than the masts ought to carry in such a high wind. Under steam alone we should have had no chance. Sometimes as we lay in the trough of a sea the frigate was completely hidden from us. The lee rail was close down to the water's edge, and the men, except those at the helm and the sheets, had to crouch down under the shelter of the weather bulwarks.
