What reading level is The Turk And His Lost Provinces : Greece, Bulgaria, Servia, Bosnia book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
1900, Gerasim Kirias, $2,000 paid.
1901, M. Alphonse, $5,000 demanded, $t,ooo paid.
1901, Miss Stone, $125,000 demanded, $65,000 paid.
The missionaries almost unanimously opposed the payment of ransom. They abhor blackmail as a mat- ter of principle, and argued that submission in the Stone case would establish a precedent that would be disastrous to the cause of missions not only in Turkey THE KIDNAPING OF MISS STONE 229 but in all semi-civilized countries. They feared that it would result in a... new industry; that all the idle des- peradoes would engage in the business of kidnaping missionaries, and one good man went so far as to declare that "God would prefer Miss Stone to perish of hunger in the mountains than endanger the lives of his servants elsewhere." The latest foreigner kidnaped before Miss Stone was Gerasim Kirias, an Albanian Protestant preacher, a naturalized subject of Great Britain and agent for the British Bible Society. He was captured under circum- stances similar to those of Miss Stone and carried into the mountains, where he was kept for three months, while negotiations were conducted by the British consul-general.
