What reading level is A Voyage of Discovery to the Strait of Magellan: With An Account of the ... book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
from the mouth of the narrow pass of Esperanza, otherwise called the First Pass.
The wind, which had freshened in the fore part of the former night, this day increased much ; and it being impossible to set .sau, as the tide was strong against us, our situation, for the greatest part of the day, became extremely critical. The fate of the frigate depended on the resistance of cables, already severely handled, opposed to a furious wind, a heavy sea, and to the current of the tide, which, at 8 p.m.... wouldf take the same direction with the wind. If our cable should give way, we would remain in a narrow pass, between two mouths, engaged in a small space, where it was impossible to tack in the dark, or in- deed to take any other course for our safety, on account of the shoals running out a long way from both shores, as well as of the incalculable alteration in the situation of the ship, produced by the current. To let go another anchor was useless, as its cable, being single and less strong than that one already out, it would certainly give way when the first should fail.
