What reading level is A Journal of a Tour in the Congo Free State book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Gembele is evidently respected by his people but he has a somewhat serious look as though he felt the cares of his position heavily. There is a strong rapid opposite the village so we allow the canoes to go up empty and enter them again above it. It is now intensely hot and progress is slow but we reach the village of Sembile before sundown and pitch our tents in a clearing. The huts here are still round and the people practically nude but the custom of wearing beads has disappeared and very fe...w are painted.
There is a bright moon which acts here as a clock by night as the sun does by day. As the latter passes prac- YAKOM A TO DJABIK 1 39 tically straight overhead it is astonishingly easy to tell the time within half an hour after a very little practice. It is more difficult to use the moon as the point of the hour- hand and requires some care. This, however, is the only means the sentry has of determining 5 a. M. When we wish to be roused for he could not read a watch.
We start again at daylight and ascend the river to Voro where we land with all baggage for the rapids here are so strong that it is necessary to walk for several miles.
