What reading level is Ramage's Signal book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Quickly and quietly they wetted and sanded the decks, put match tubs between the guns, half filling them with water, and set out larger tubs in which the sponges could be soaked when sponging out the guns. The gunner took the large, bronze magazine key from Ramage and went below to begin issuing flintlocks, lanyards, prickers and powder horns to each of the gun captains and be ready to issue cartridges to the powder boys.
Southwick was looking at his watch and cursing.
“We’re lucky the dam’ Fren...ch 74 isn’t steering for us; I’ve never known the men to take so long!”
“You must be patient,” Ramage murmured, knowing his own reputation as the most impatient man in the ship. “Don’t forget we hardly have a gun captain left on board: nearly all the men are doing someone else’s job, and they’re not used to it.”
“Aye,” Southwick admitted, “but they’ve been exercised enough at exchanging jobs.”
“It’s not the same. Telling every fourth man he’s a casualty and making the rest move round is no good because each replacement sees what the previous man was doing.”
