What reading level is Seasons With the Sea-Horses; Or, Sporting Adventures in the Northern Seas book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On a gentle eminence, at a distance of two or three hundred yards from the huts, they had built up a sort of look-out house of loose stones, and here we may conceive they passed alternately many weary hours in watching the ice-laden sea before them.
CEICKET IN SPITZBERGEN. 229 They may even have been tantalised by seeing the topsails of vessels passing outside of the icy barrier, but far beyond their reach. On a little piece of level ground, not far from the huts, they had kept themselves in ex...ercise by playing at a game resembling cricket, as was evident by the bats and rude wooden balls they had used still lying on the mossy ground. Altogether there was something inexpressibly sad and desolate about the remains of this unfortunate establishment ; and by the rude Norwegian sealers the place is regarded with a degree of superstitious awe which perhaps may be the reason for the huts being in such a good state of preservation. As my English sailors were not afflicted with any similar scruples, and as we were in urgent need of firewood, we took the liberty of appropriating some pieces of one of the outhouses, although I would not allow the standing parts of the walls to be pulled down, in case the huts might be called upon to do duty again as winter quarters for any shipwrecked crew.
