What reading level is The Strange Adventures of Captain Quinton Being a Truthful Record of the Experi book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Then, watching their opportunity, they made a sudden attack upon the crew and killed two of our men, but the rest of us attacked them furiously in return and opened a rifle fire upon the outstand- ing canoes, so disabling them that the natives had to abandon them and swim for their lives.
Under ordinary circumstances the natives do not appear to have the slightest fear of sharks ; but these brutes are always dangerous to any one when there is blood in the water, and it is curious how it seems t...o attract them even from a con- siderable distance.
We traded chiefly with the villages of Kavatari, Taiava, and Oburaka, which are located upon the eastern shore of the harbor in which we were at anchor; and the inhabitants of these three villages treated us to a torchlight dance and en- tertainment a few nights before we sailed away. Upon land- ing we found the natives assembled in large numbers upon the village green at Taiava, and their savage appearance would certainly have formed an interesting study for a painter who desired to depict man in a primitive state.
