What reading level is From Midshipman to Rear Admiral book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Digitized by Google THE BATTLE OF MANILA 253 In obedience to signal, the Baltimore at once got un- der way and steamed rapidly in toward Sangley Point.
She seemed to be going at full speed, and as soon as the guns of her batteries could be used she began to fire.
Her appearance as seen from my perch aloft was dra- matic and picturesque in the extreme. With her great size and rapid speed, she seemed literally rushing on the foe, and when she began to strike out with those long guns, I got a real...izing sense of force in motion that I had never had before. The beach seemed to be torn up with the impact of her shells, and the air there to be filled with clouds of sand and the smoke and the flames of burning powder. The batteries could not stand this very long, and soon gave up the fight.
Our role of the interested spectator was soon ended by the expected signal to go in after the Baltimore. We engaged first a vessel which afterward proved to be the Don Juan d'Ulloa, and we fired on her for a long time without seeming to do much damage or eliciting any reply.
