What reading level is Spun Yarns of a Naval Officer book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In due course, after the flagship arrived out, Captain Mac Gill came, took his observations, and returned to the flagship.
The official signal was : " Agree with your position, place you a pin's point further out. " The pin's point in question would place her a few yards outwards. That position was outside the 10-fathom line, and immediately over the II fathoms marked on the chart. A surveying vessel had been out there for three years, and had not long gone home. I never altered my fix of the p...osition at all. A special surveyor was sent to survey, but no change was, or could be, made.
When the Commander-in-Chief came on board in the afternoon, soon after she struck, the ship was upright. In the evening, it came on pretty bad weather with some sea, the ship feeling it much.
The movement due to the sea caused the ship to hole herself, the rock penetrating not only the outer but the inner bottom, thus causing the ship to list heavily to starboard. There was no saying how far she would go, indeed whether she would not go far enough to turn over, and action was taken to prepare for contingencies.
