What reading level is Dog Watches At Sea book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The towboat took hold of us ; I made for the wheel, and steered in the wake of the tug till we dropped anchor a few miles down the Delaware. Beside the sixteen men forward, there were eight others on board, — Captain Thomas and Mr. Parker, the mate, a young man about twenty -two years old, bright and active ; though a mere boy he was a compe- tent sailor, and a good boxer and wrestler. The second mate was a middle-aged man, who abused his authority by constantly cursing and swearing at the men.... The boatswain was a strong Liverpool Irishman, who fought all the battles of the ship and made my ex- istence wretched.
Chips, the carpenter, a Norwegian who had sailed for years in deep-water American ships, was now so Americanized that he delighted to apply the term "Dutchmen " to the Scandi- navians forward. He considered his position of so much importance that it was a conde- scension to speak to the men. His rank, like BURYING THE «DEAD HORSE" 155 the boatswain's, was a step from the forecas- tle, where they had both lived, so that they knew what a sailor's life is.
