What reading level is People And Places a Life in Five Continents book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I have a less pleasant incident to record in con- nection with the Triang. Unprecedented floods had converted valleys into lakes, and no one could tell where they ended or rivers began. Two Malay police were brought to me by the sergeant-major with the story that they had been several days coming from the down-river station, resting at night in branches of trees. This tale, although sounding improbable, turned out to be true. When inter- viewed, these travellers told me of villages isolated by ...floods, houses washed away, families living in trees and no boats for rescue. I called for volunteers, and two dug-outs were at once loaded with rice and flour and started off to take relief. I could not sleep that night for thinking of the occupants of those boats who had so little chance of reaching their RESCUES FROM RIVER-FLOOD 151 destination. In the morning, therefore, taking two boats and selecting a couple of experts in this river navigation, I started down-stream. It was a con- stant difficulty to avoid swamping by collision with fallen trees, dead buffaloes, pigs, and other victims of the flood, which the roaring current was sweeping along with our boats.
