What reading level is A Sack of Shakings book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
During its height we passed the Anchor liner California^ a huge steam- ship some twenty times our bulk. From end to end of that mighty ship the frohcsome waves leaped and tumbled ; from every scupper and swinging-port spouted a briny flood. Every sea, meeting her mass in its way, just climbed on board and spread itself, so that she looked, as sailors say, like a half-tide rock. From her towering hurricane-deck our little craft must have appeared a forlorn little object — just a waif of the sea,... existing only by a succession of miracles. Yet even her muffled-up passengers, gazing down upon the white dryness of our decks, looked as if they could dimly understand that the comfort which was unmistakably absent from their own wallowing monster was cosily present with us.
Another vessel, built on the same coast, but three times the size of the Wanderer^ was the Sea Gein^ in which I had an extended experience. Under an old sea-dog of a captain who commanded her the first part of the voyage, she played more pranks than a jibbing mule with a new driver.
