What reading level is Shells And Shell-Guns book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is also noticeable that, when the Samson was hulled repeatedly by uncon- sciously trespassing too near the buoy marking the Russian range, the shot that struck seemed almost spent; the one, for instance, that passed through the thin sides of the quarter-boat, and knocked off a corner of wood work, — struck a man without injuring him, and then dropped down. The hot shot that set .fire to the Vau- ban passed through the outer plank, and, being able to get no farther, rolled down between the fr...ames ; it proved very dangerous, notwithstand- ing its want of force. All of them must have struck direct, as the water was too rough for a distant ricochet.
It seems surprising that six hours were re- quired to beat down the mole and its battery; if that battery had been able to make a return from corresponding metal, could the steamers have endured that return for six hours) It was a great mistake to leave undefended the position taken by the steamers. Four heavy cannon on the mole, and a few more upon some work ashore, north of the mole, would have driven the steamers out of all range very speedily.
