What reading level is Ramage And the Drum Beat book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
‘It ain’t a seamanlike rig,’ concluded Stafford. ‘Might do fer a lot o’ ’eathen Moors, but wot, I hask yer, ’appens to those yards in a gale o’ wind? I’ll tell yer: they whip like a master-at-arms’ rattan.’ ‘But each one’s got a vang at the lower end and another near the top,’ Jackson interjected mildly.
‘Yers,’ jeered Stafford, ‘they’ll be useful when you want to ’aul ’em back in again after they’ve gorn overboard.’ ‘But very fast ships,’ Rossi interjected. ‘The fastest. That’s why the Moorish ...pirates use them.’ ‘And that’s why Mr Ramage is interested in them, Rosey,’ said Jackson. ‘When we leave here for Gibraltar we’ll be in a hurry.’ ‘Like as not there’ll be a Spanish three-decker chasin’ us,’ Fuller added gloomily.
Stafford laughed. ‘If they get close, yer can ’ave a boat and row over to the Spanish admiral wiv a big plate o’ fish and tell ’im we was really only ’avin’ a nice day’s exercise wiv rod an’ line.’ Fuller grunted contemptuously: he couldn’t be bothered wasting his breath on a man who talked like that about fishing.
