What reading level is Service Afloat Or the Remarkable Career of the Confederate Cruisers Sumter And book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
DURING THE WAR BETWEEN THE STATES. 579 Amid the crackling of flames, the bursting of brandy casks, the shrivelling of sails, as they were touched by the fire, and the tumbling of the lighter spars of the Olive Jane from aloft, we turned our head to the eastward again, and rejoined our first prize, coming up with her just as the shades of evening were closing in. I had now a little leisure to look into her character. She, like the Olive Jane, had shown me the " old flag, " and that, of course, h...ad set at rest all doubts as to the nationality of the ship. There was as little doubt, as soon ap- peared, about the cargo. The ship was the Golden Eagle, and I had overhauled her near the termination of a long voyage. She had sailed from San Francisco, in ballast, for Rowland's Island, in the Pacific ; a guano island of which some adven- turous Yankees had taken possession. There she had taken in a cargo of guano, for Cork and a market ; the guano being owned by, and consigned to the order of the American Guano Company.
