What reading level is The book of Athletics And Out of Door Sports Containing Practical Advice And S book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" cannot be misunderstood ; but how about " Is the wheel a-left?" "Right your wheel" means to bring the rudder in line with the keel. All ancient steering-gear was identical with that used by small boats to-day, or an arm of wood fast to the rudder-head ; every boy knows that to carry this tiller to the starboard side brings the rudder to the opposite side, and thus the bow of the boat is turned to port ; the first improve- ments in steering conformed to this rule, and the HINTS FOR YACHTSMEN.
...189 wheel itself moved to the right or to the left, so that in old vessels a channel may be seen worn into the deck, where the man at the wheel has followed the tiller. Stationary wheels came, moving the rudder in the direction indicated by the wheel ; but the terms were not changed. So that to this day the man moves his wheel exactly to the contrary of the order, following the old rule that the vessel must go to the side opposite that to which the helm is put.
The terms port and starboard only are in use on the sea : two vessels approaching must port the helm ; if sailing-vessels, the one on the starboard tack has right of way ; if steamers, one whistle in- dicates that each keeps to starboard ; two to port ; at night a green light is carried on the starboard side, a red one to port ; the distinction being easily recalled if you remember that port wine is red.
