What reading level is Goa, And the Blue Mountains, Or, Six Months of Sick Leave book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The half-drowned wretch, when hurried into the high presence, declared, in extenuation of his conduct, that he had imprudently shipped on board the San Ignacio, an Inglez or Englishman, who had deliberately commenced murdering the crew the moment they came on board. The Governor, how- ever, seeing the truth of things, ordered him imme- diately to be placed in the nearest quarter guard till midnight, at which time it was calculated that, by virtue of the ducking, he might be sober enough to set ...sail.
As we rapidly glided by the Castle of Agoada, all our crew stood up, and with hands reverentially upraised, said their prayers. They did not, how- ever, pay much respect to the patron saint of the boat, whose image, a little painted doll, in a wooden box, occupied a conspicuous position in the " cuddy." A pot of oil with a lighted wick was, it is true, regularly placed before him every night to warn the vermin against molesting so holy a personage : the measure, however, failed in success, as the very first evening we came on board, a huge rat took his station upon the saint's back and glared at us, ADIEU TO PANJIM.
