What reading level is The Sea And Her Famous Sailors book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On the 18th, after eleven hours' exhausting labour, they advanced but two miles ; and on the 20th, having apparently accomplished twelve miles in three days, an observation revealed the alarming fact that they had really advanced but five. The terrible truth burst upon Parry and his officers : the ice over which they were with such effort forcing their weary way ivas actually drifting to the south ! This intelligence was con- cealed from the men, who had no suspicion of it, though they often la...ughingly remarked that they were a long time getting to this eighty-third degree. They were at this time in 82° 43' 5". The next observation extinguished the last ray of hope : after two days' labour they found themselves in 82° 40'. The drift Was carrying them to the south faster than their own exertions took them to the north ! In fact, the drift ran four miles a day. It was evidently hopeless to pursue the journey any farther. The floe upon which they slept at night rolled them back to the point they had quitted in the morning.
