What reading level is The World's Navies in the Boxer Rebellion (China 1900) book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As a matter of fact, only about half the junks were available for use, owing to the fact that they,, being new, opened their seams and sank immediately they were floated ; however, the ones which had been taken on the river provided ample accommo- dation for the British contingent. The work of collecting junks off the river was a task not looked forward to by either officers or men, consisting, as it did, of turning whole families out into the banks, from what had been their sole living place ;... but the orders were to get junks, and empty ones are not found floating about in war-time even in China. One certainly was seen floating by itself, and, being of a suitable nature and size, it was immediately boarded. It was, however, tenanted by eight corpses of people who had met violent deaths, — and was therefore allowed to go on floating.
Sights like this, and others yet more horrible, were only too common, and it is not to be wondered at that the " junk parties," as they were called, were glad when their labours finished, and a sufficient number had been collected.
