What reading level is In the Maoriland Bush book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Needless to say, anything of the kind would be impossible without the assistance of dogs. The ideal MATTERS OF BUSH AND PLAIN 155 dog for the purpose is obtained by a cross between an Australian kangaroo hound and a mastiff. But these magnificent specimens of the canine race are scarce ; thus volunteers are wont to be called up from all available breeds. Occasionally the hunter's enthusiasm exceeds his judgment, and unduly mag- nifies the powers of a light-weight sheep-dog. Then tragedy is wont... to ensue, and a poor little four-footed corpse, ripped up by the powerful tusks, lies among the undergrowth.
For it is the dogs who bear the brunt of the battle. It is their business to dash on ahead and to hold the boar at bay. A pair of well-trained dogs are sur- prisingly efficient in this respect. They have a cun- ning fashion of hanging on respectively to an ear and a hind leg of the quarry that is utterly disconcerting, even to the most powerful pig. With the animal thus held, it is the proper thing on the part of the hunter to lay aside his rifle and to run in and stick the victim with the knife.
