What reading level is Cawnpore; book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Sahib !
" Why keep away ? We are friends." The new- comers, however, were so formidable in aspect and equipment that Thomson refused to come to land until, after a short parley, they volunteered to throw their weapons into the river as a proof of their sincerity. Their assurances of amity afforded our countrymen a passable excuse for giving in, without inspiring any great amount of confidence. At the very worst, a blow on the head or a thrust in the chest killed more expeditiously than drowning... or inanition. It was better to die and have done with it, than to endure all the torment of death without the repose, as of late had seemed to be their appor- tioned lot. And so they turned, and swam in, and were helped ashore naked as Ulysses when he was washed up on the Phseacian coast after his wrestle with the Adriatic surf. Like him, their knees and wrists gave way beneath them : for their vigour was subdued by long toil among the billows : and their bodies were livid and swollen ; and much water oozed from mouth and nostril ; and they lay without breath, and speech, and well nigh without life, stricken by an exceeding weariness.
