What reading level is With the Flagship in the South book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Stubbs would say that American seamen are much given to exaggeration. " ' Blow your god darn Navy sky high. " But they couldn't, sir, he added modestly.
" They think their Navy's a long way out of sight of others. But I dessay we thinks ours best, too, and they thinks it's us that's swankin'. " Mr. Stubbs was careful to avoid saying so. But I rather suspect he was just a little piqued at the fuss of expectation over the American Fleet, which arrives here in a day or two. " This fleet of theirs ...that's comin', " he said, " it ain't their fleet ; it's their 'ole Navy, sir. An' yet I see a fleet at Spit'ead where there was 180 ships, and that was only part of ours. A civilian, 'e wrote to the papers that 68 of them were unfit for action. 'E gave what were wrong with each of 'em, too, and got it pretty well right. " Now a man who can talk on like that, who has seen as much as Mr. Stubbs and appreciated it, cannot be an unintelligent man. And indeed everyone has something good to say of the " soldiers.
