What reading level is The Missionary Heroes of Africa book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
IV: Into the Lion's Mouth Meantime his comrades of the pioneer party had been sadly reduced. They reached the south end of the Lake, but within six weeks Dr. Smith, Mackay's great friend and fellow-countryman, was dead. Shortly afterwards, two others, Shergold Smith and MACKAY OF UGANDA 177 O'Neill, having gone to the island of Ukerewe, were murdered in trying to shelter an Arab trader who had provoked the chief. Only one of the party had reached Uganda.
Mackay, in his own straightforward and f...earless way, determined to visit Ukerewe at once, and if pos- sible establish friendly relations with the chief, for he saw that the island commanded the approach to Uganda across the Lake. He felt, indeed, that he was putting his head into the lion's mouth, and the natives warned him that he would never leave the island alive. He went, however, in spite of these warnings, alone and unarmed. He remarks casually that he put some sul- phate of zinc in his pocket, "in case I should require an emetic, Ikonge, the chief, being known as a poi- soner!" His courage and frankness completely won the heart of the chief, who after a few days slew a goat in solemn pledge of blood-brotherhood.
