What reading level is Under the Black Ensign book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On those deep coral bottoms, the hulls, both of the destroyer and the destroyed, rest close together.
The British s.s. Palmbranch was the first of those who turned the tables on the destroyer that lurks at noon- day. She was commanded by Captain Mailing, than whom no finer officer existed in our merchant navy — one, in fact, whose courage and skill have been recog- nised by the bestowal of a D.S.O. with bar. His ship had among her cargo a large quantity of high explosives and poison-gas, and mo...unted, an American 13-pounder gun aft. This gun was a concession to the insistent demands of the master, he having previously been chased and shelled in a gunless ship by a submarine. But, purely by his own skill, seamanship, and resolution, he had escaped destruction, and brought his ship safely into port — the scars of battle still showing in the Palmbranch when she arrived in the Arctic. Captain Mailing had organised his crew as efficiently as those of a man-of- war; everything had been thought out beforehand.
