What reading level is A Memoir of Daniel Wheeler, With An Account of His Gospel Labours in the Islands of the Pacific book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Our captain was personally known to them already. They soon looked round the vessel, appa^ rently delighted, left us a basket of oranges, and said they would come again to-morrow. To my great re- joicing, the pilot soon after coming on board, informed us (officially) of the disuse of ardent spirits altogether, by saying, ' Rum is no good here.' The total prohi- bition of spirituous liquors has been so strongly en- forced, that they have taken them out of private houses, without exception, and t...hrown them away; and the natives have carried it to the length of smelling the breath of people, to ascertain whether it had been used, and, if found to be the case, a severe fine was imposed ; so that a person well known to lead a thoroughly sober life, was not allowed to have such a thing in his possession, but was liable at any time to undergo a search.
Fifth month, 1st. (^Sixth day.') At day-break the pilot came on board, and the breeze being favourable, the vessel was got ready, and run gently down to Papeete harbour : the water was so clear, that the beautifully-spreading branches of coral could be plainly distinguished as we passed over the most shallow parts of the reef.
