What reading level is Travel & Sport in Turkestan book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
nearly, and 6 tongas = i rupee.
A pony's hire is 6 tongas a march of fifteen to twenty miles ; the rate in Kashmir (except in the Gilgit Agency) is about half this amount for ponies, which do not, however, carry quite as heavy loads. I had with me fourteen baggage ponies and five riding ponies (self and four servants), or nineteen in all.
The local officer, or Beg, used to accompany me through his district to see that I got the ponies and supplies I wanted, and I used to pay for his services at... the rate of 2 or 3 rupees a day.
July nth. — Marched at 9.30 a.m. Some of the pony-men decamped during the night, taking eight ponies, but with some difficulty we collected six others to replace them. Three miles on the Arpalik River enters a narrow gorge six miles long, then the valley widens — but still remains bounded by pre- cipitous hills, some 500 feet to 1000 feet above its level, and formed of red sandstone instead of dark rock as in the gorge above.
At 4.45 P.M., having gone about eighteen miles, I had to stop and camp, because the river, which for some miles had been dwindling, here finally dis- appears into its bed altogether, and even so the water is rather brackish.
