What reading level is Down the River book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I was fearfully alarmedfor his safety; and, though I could swim like a fish, I doubted myability to handle such a clumsy fellow in the water.
Kicking off my shoes, I dived after him from the roof of the house; forhe had gone down, and I was not sure that he would come up again. Icould not help thinking that this accident had ruined my enterprise. Though it seemed to be a long time to me, and doubtless a much longertime to him, he had not been in the water more than three seconds when Idived aft...er him.
[Illustration: SIM GWYNN'S MISHAP. --Page 141. ] I did not find him under the water; but, when I rose to the surface, Isaw him a rod or more below me, floundering about like a crazyalligator.
CHAPTER XIII.
NEAR UNTO DEATH.
Although I was abundantly able to take care of myself in the water, andeven to do a little more than that, I was really afraid to approach SimGwynn, he struggled so violently. I was satisfied, if I did so, that hewould swamp me as well as himself. We were both floating down the streamwith the current, and all the chances seemed to be against us.
