What reading level is Papers, Literary, Scientific, & C. book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
She directed the ' Medway ' to find it, and lift it three miles nearer to America, she then told the * Medway ' to haul away as fast as she could to break the cable, and the * Great Eastern* hauled in more slowly, but fast enough to keep hold of the cable with her own grapnel. When the 'Medway' got the cable within 400 Digitized by CjOOQIC 234 APPLIED SCIENCE fathoms of the surface, it broke at her grapneL The end fell down, and the loose bight was etisily hauled on board by the * Great Eastern.../ The strain on this occasion was six tons.
Owing probably to the hemp covering, the cable did not slip along the grapnel after being cut by the ' Medway.' The only chance of failure was that the cable might have rusted so much that, even when hanging vertically, it could not bear its own w^eight in two miles of water. On the contrary, little or no signs of rust were observed, and there is no reason to suppose that the 1865 cable had materially lost strength during its year of submersion. Considering the perfect success of this simple method of recovering the cable, it really is unnecessary to discuss the many ingenious plans suggested ; probably the use of a holdfast grapnel in one ship, and a cutting grapnel in the other, would avoid a few mischances ; but it is cle^r that even these appliances are unnecessary.
