What reading level is A Descent Into the Maelstrm a Tale book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Such a hurricane as then blew it is folly to attempt describing. The oldest 25 seaman in Norway never experienced anything like it. We had let our sails go by the run before it cleverly took us ; but, at the first puff, both our masts went by the board as if they had been sawed off — the mainmast taking with it my youngest brother, who had lashed himself to it for safety.
" Our boat w^as the lightest feather of a thing that ever sat upon water. It had a complete flush deck, w^ith only a small... hatch near the bow, and this hatch it had always been our custom to batten down when about to cross the Strom by way of precaution against the chopping seas. But for this circumstance we should have foundered at once — for w^e lay entirely buried for some moments. How my elder brother escaped destruction I cannot say, for I never had an oppor- tunity of ascertaining. For my part, as soon as I had let the foresail run, I threw myself flat on deck, w^ith my feet against the narrow^ gunwale of the bow^, and 26 with my hands grasping a ring-bolt near the foot of the fore-mast.
