What reading level is The Cruise of the Corwin Journal of the Arctic Expedition of 1881in Search of De Long And the Jeannette book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
[ i8S ] The Cruise of the Corwin the ice and silvery water. Then the conical huts of the Eskimo village on Point Barrow came in sight, and rounding the Point we found ourselves in the midst of quite a fleet of whalers, from whom we received the good news that, as we had been told by the natives, all the missing members of the wrecked crew had at length been picked up and were now distributed among the different vessels.
A few of them have been permanently added to the crews of the rescuing ship...s lying here, and nine have been received on board of the Corwin.
The strip of water sometimes found between Icy Cape and Point Barrow is perhaps the most dan- gerous whaling ground yet discovered. The ice is of tremendous thickness, a hundred feet or more, and its movements are extremely variable from season to season, and almost from day to day. It seldom leaves this part of the coast very far, some years not at all, and it is always liable to be driven close inshore by a few hours or days of strong wind blowing from any point of the compass around from north to southwest.
