What reading level is The Emden book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They seemed to look at it wholly as though it were a kind of sport we were engaged in, — poked fun at their own war ships which, in spite of their numbers, had failed to capture the "Emden, " spoke of our bombardment of the Madras oil tanks as though it were a huge joke, made our Commander an honor- ary member of the principal club of Cal- cutta, and indulged in a large number of **'Emden' yarns. " These were of so ab- surd a character that no one would have thought of offering them, as actual ...oc- currences, to any reading public except one of as little judgment in such matters as the English are. It will be illuminating to quote one or two typical ones as examples.
I02 THE "EMDEN An Indian newspaper published the story told by the captain of a merchantman, who claimed to have met the "Emden" without having been captured by her. That any faith was placed in even so much of the story is in itself evidence of the credulity of the British reading public, for the captain of an English steamer that came in contact with the "Emden" never got away with his ship.
