What reading level is The Cruise of the "cachalot" : Round the World After Sperm Whales book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Many an earnest prayer did I breathe that the chain would prove staunch, for what sort of a job it would be to go after that whale during the night, should he break loose, I could only faintly imagine. But all our gear was of the very best ; OUR FIRST CALLING-PLACE. 95 no thieving ship-chandler had any hand in supplying our outfit with shoddy rope and faulty chain, only made to sell, and ready at the first call made upon it to carry away and destroy half a dozen valuable lives. There was one co...il of rope on board which the skipper had bought for cordage on the previous voyage from a homeward-bound English ship, and it was the butt of all the officers' scurrilous remarks about Britishers and their gear. It was never used but for rope-yams, being cut up in lengths, and untwisted for the ignomiuious purpose of tying things up — " hardly good enough for that," was the verdict upon it.
Tired as we all were, very little sleep came to us that night — we were barely seasoned yet to the exigencies of a whaler's life — but afterwards I believe nothhig short of dismasting or running the ship ashore would wake us, once we^ got to sleep.
