What reading level is The U.S. Grinnell Expedition in Search of Sir John Franklin : a Personal Narrative book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
After five miles of walking, with recurring alternations of climbing, leap- ing, rolling, and soaking, we found that the ice had driven out from the coast, and a black lane of open water stopped our progress. This is the seventh at- tempt to cross the ice, all meeting with failure from the same cause. The motion of ice, influenced by winds, tides, and currents, keeps constantly abrading the shore-line. Any outward drift, of course, makes an irregular lane of water, which a single night con- ver...ts into ice ; the returning floes heap this in tables one over another ; and the next outward set carries oflF the floes again, crowned with their new increment.
'^ The haze gathered around us about an hour after starting, and the hummocks were so covered with snow that the chasms often received us middle deep. We walked five hours and a half, making in all but eleven j AN ICE TRAMP. S89 milM ; and even then were at least a mile from the beach.
** At one portion of our route, the ice had the crushed sogar character; the lumps varying in sia^ from a small cantaloupe to a water-melon, but hard as froa^n water at zero ought to be.
