What reading level is Sport in Bengal And How When And Where to Seek It book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
These are in common use in Eastern Bengal in particular, and are very graceful in form, tapering away in beautiful lines to a point at each end — buoyant, easily worked, and capable of floating in less than a foot of water. A light, elastic, and yet strong deck is formed of split bamboos fastened together with cane or twine, in pieces about a yard in length, which are laid down a few inches below the gunwales. On this moveable deck, a round stool of native manufacture being placed about seven ■...feet from the bows, and the gunner seated upon it with his guns and ammunition before him, shots can be fired to the front and both sides with ease, and without disturbing the balance of his craft. A bush or a bundle of grass is some- times fixed on the bows as a sort of screen, but it rarely answers any useful purpose, since it cannot conceal those in the boat ; and if the birds are not disposed to permit its 310 SPORT IN BENGAL.
appToach within range, under the impression that it is only one of those they are in the daily habit of seeing manned by fishermen and others, they will not be deceived by a contri- vance such as the above.
