What reading level is Reminiscences of a Voyage Around the World book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I was awoke by the noise of a scuffle on the deck overhead. The captain sprang from his swinging cot, and rushed up the steps shoeless and hatless.
I will account now for the noise. It was the mate's watch, and Cuhaver had the wheel. The former lectured the latter severely upon his steering, and not satisfied with that, struck him on the head with an iron belaying pin. Thereupon Cuhaver (un- harmed by the blow — another proof of the thickness of a Kanaka's skull, ) let go his hold upon the whee...l, and threw his arms about the mate so as to pinion that officer's arms completely. Then he began to chant a dismal song, griping more and more tightly his struggling victim. What he intended to do with him, heaven only knows.
At this juncture my father reached the deck. Seeing that the ship would be caught aback unless the helm was immediately put up, he bestowed one blow upon Cuhaver, and ran to the wheel. Stunned by the blow, which took effect upon the left side of his under jaw, Cuhaver fell, with his armful, across the top of a sky-light.
