What reading level is The Selungs of the Mergui Archipelago book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
About half a dozen of the elders now seated themselves in front of the offerings, and one, acting as the spokesman, addressed, to my astonishment, not the ndt only, as I had expected, but a being whom they call Theedah. In this he was stolidly joined by the old man and woman, but he became excited and threw his arms about, as he was recognised as one who had the power to invoke Theedah, and the ndt who is hopelessly mixed up with him. I was in- formed that he was asking Theedah to keep away all... sickness, fever, small-pox, and cholera, and to give them plenty of heche- de-mer, Maoo fish, honey, wax, and akyaw. But a kind of threat was held out to the Being, as he was told that they could make only one offering a year, and that, as they now gave him all the sams^Mthey possessed, — which was not strictly correct, because, as the festival proceeded, they sent for much more from its fountain- head, the Chinese boats, — he would receive no more until next year, implying that if he did not behave handsomely to them in the interval, his supplies for next year might be stopped.
