What reading level is Paul Jones, Founder of the American Navy; a History book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But there were already five feet of water in the hold, and the Eichard's men passed it up through the orlop- scuttle in buckets — actually using the water that was sinking the ship to quench flames that threatened to devour her.
Meantime the men in the Eichard's tops had been busy, and about ten o'clock they accomplished a feat which unquestionably decided the battle. This 228 THE BATTLE WITH THE SEEAPIS affair is graphically described by Henry Gardner in his narrative. He says : As soon as the... prisoners were subdued I went to the quarter-deck, where the Commodore informed me that he had broken the gunner, Mr. Randall, for misconduct, and that I was now acting-gunner of the ship. I succeeded in getting one of the port nine-pounders over to the starboard side of the quarter-deck, and after firing two or three shots from it the Commodore directed me to lay aloft to the main- top and suggested to Lieutenant Edward Stack the idea of trying to drop hand-grenades down through the enemy's main hatch into his lower tier, from our main yard-arm, which now overhung that hatch.
