What reading level is The Cradle of the Deep; An Account of a Voyage to the West Indies book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was built, they say, in 1584, while the gaunt wall which surrounds the town was not completed until 1771. Morro Castle, therefore, was well known to Drake and to that aristocratic pirate the Earl of Cumberland There is no doubt but that it has been greatly strengthened since these two sturdy Englishmen mocked and defied it It is now an immense fortress, with three tiers of batteries facing the sea, with spray-wetted platforms and sally-ports, under whose doors the sea creeps in at times of h...igh tide. Its horrible walls are made one with the dead cliff. There are so many loopholes in its front that the place seems more full of eyes than the head of the giant Argus. In each black, skull-like socket, where would be the pupil of a globe, is the muzzle of a gun, an iris of steel Digitized by Google A HARBOUR ENTRY. 217 This San Juan, this very harbour mouth, comes into the scene of one of the most pathetic of the sea stories of England, the story of the last voyage of John Hawkins and Francis Drake.
