What reading level is The Flying Cloud book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
What ho ! let her rip ! let her scoot ! these are the Roaring Forties, these the latitudes of the Brave West Winds!
Digitized by Google CHAPTER XXVII RUNNING DOWN THE EASTING The Flying Cloud ran down her easting in fine style, canying good strong working breezes with her all the way, and here and there getting a rotis- ing westerly gale that made up in some measure for her long delasrs north of the Line. The wind was often keen, and the Lascars foimd it cold, but no one else minded the fine ta...ng in the air. She carried sail gallantly, that's the truth, and was away to the eastward of lonely bird-haunted Ker- guelen almost before she knew it.
" She moves, boy, she moves,*' said old Mac exultantly to Ellison. They were great friends now, and often and often Jack spent the middle watch with him and after midnight made cocoa in the galley for both.
** Why, another week at this rate and we'll be south of Cape Leeuwin," said Mackintosh.
"That's another windy comer of the world, Ellison. I've known rare snorters there, real fizzlers, I can tell you." He might know another yet.
