What reading level is The Cradle of the Deep the Account of a Voyage to the West Indies book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Iroquois could see her, but was unable to touch her so long as she remained in French waters. The Alabama resolved at last to make a run for it. One dark night, with all her lights masked, she crept out of St. Pierre and steered for the south. Unfortunately there were other Yankee ships in the harbour, and one of these shot a rocket southwards as a signal to the Iroquois that their quarry had escaped and had gone in that direction. The Iroquois gave chase. The Alabama kept close to the shor...e as far as Carbet, a thing invisible. Here she doubled like a hare, and making north, passed by St. Pierre again. The Yankee ship in the harbour — with what sporting men would consider the basest meanness — fired a rocket, this time northwards. The Iroquois turned and followed with all speed.
DOMENICA. 163 The hunted ship now crawled in close to the dark cliffs at Aux Abymes, and here she crouched in a disquieted suspense. The men crept about the deck on tiptoe and talked only in whispers. There was no sound but the splash of the sea against the cliff wall and the thud of the pursuing man-of-war.
