What reading level is The German Pirate; His Methods And Record book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
No boats on the starboard side could be launched owing to the list, and several on the port side were swamped, torn away, or capsized, owing to the way which was still on the ship. One port- side boat had been smashed by the explosion, an- other was pressed under water by the davits, as the ship rolled over to port. Only five boats got away, 213 of the crew and 120 passengers losing their lives, through the explosion or by drown- ing. Four over-loaded boats were adrift for 30 hours before being... picked up by a mine-sweeper. The fifth boat, which had been damaged, capsized several times, and contained only 1 1 survivors when picked up at 8 p.m. on the 31st by another steamer. The upshot of the Persia affair was that Count Bernstorff submitted an official memorandum to the United States Government, stating that Ger- many proposed to conduct her submarine cam- paign according to the rules of international law. The Germans admitted that it was possible that a German submarine sank the Persia, and promised that, if this were so, the guilty captain would be punished.
