What reading level is Historical Tales And Legends of Ayrshire book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His nephew saw it and acknowledged it to him- self long ere the Rover would admit it ; but ever as he ran along the coast the successive flashes of lightning told him that he was making rapid and dangerous leeway. And worse than that. In front of him was a headland, and he was to leeward of it. Could he but weather that, he might yet escape. But could he ? He would try ; and no man could do more. To go about was an impossibility ; he must clear the headland or perish.
The ship was so near the w...ind that she was not making much headway ; and the less speed she made the more she drifted. Still raged the storm, wilder than ever in its intensity ; and to the horrors of the riotous chaos to wind- ward was added the roar of the surf on the cliffs to leeward.
Strange unearthly sounds fell upon the Rover's ear ; and as 174 HISTORICAL TALES OF AYRSHIRE.
he glanced in the gleaming flashes, on the face of his nephew, he saw that he, too, heard them, and knew their meaning. They were sounds such as he had heard tell of in the folk-lore of his far-away home ; and no man could hear them and live.
