What reading level is The Cruise of the Dainty book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Volcanic action has been the agent of many of the islands to thewestward, where several still active volcanoes exist. Many of those inthat direction are clothed with the richest vegetation. They areinhabited by dark-skinned races; still the most savage among those ofthe Pacific, such as the New Hebrides, Santa Cruz, Solomon Islands, andNew Ireland, to the eastward of New Guinea. They produce the finestsandal-wood, and Harry determined to visit some of them, in order toobtain a supply before ret...urning home. He had, however, settled to callfirst, as I have said, at the islands, where he hoped to be able topurchase palm-oil.
The first we reached after this was very similar to those alreadydescribed. The natives, as we appeared, came off to the schooner intheir canoes, and invited us to enter a secure harbour into which theyoffered to pilot her. Several of those who boarded us were dressed inshirts, and one of them spoke a sufficient amount of English to makehimself understood. He said that two native missionaries were settledon the island, and that all the inhabitants were Christians.
