What reading level is Incidents of a Whaling Voyage to Which Are Added Observations On the Scenery book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The com- pensation is ten dollars, without respect to time or dis- tance, whether it take one month or eight to reach home, whether for three hundred miles or for three thousand, a law, very unequal in its application.
Tuesday, July 21. Yesterday afternoon, the town was thrown into commotion, by the cry of " sail ho !" echoed from mouth to mouth. The natives have become ac- quainted with our mode of indicating that a ship is in sight, and the alarm is echoed in every direction like a cry of fir...e, whenever a vessel is seen coming in from sea, and sometimes when there is none to be seen, from a praiseworthy zeal to interrupt the monotony of the town, and to rouse up the foreigners for a few minutes. The sail in sight was made out to be a man-of-war, and was pronounced to be one of the Exploring Expedition, so long and anxiously expected, until, as she came to anchor off the mouth of the harbor, the tri-colored en- sign was run up to her mizen-peak. Then commenced the firing of salutes, the etiquette always observed re- quiring a discharge of twenty-one guns from the stran- ger, as a compliment to the flag of the nation she visits, which is instantly returned with an equal number of guns from a fortification or national vessel.
