What reading level is The Expedition to Borneo of H.M.S. Dido book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
So close were we on his rear--harassed as he was by theBalow Dyaks, who had refused him common means of subsistence--that hethrew away his sword, and left behind him a child whom he had hithertocarried in the jungle; and this once dreaded chief was now driven, single and unattended, out of the reach of doing any further mischief.
The boats returned, and took up a formidable position off the town ofBunting, where we summoned Seriff Jaffer to a conference. To this hewas obliged to attend, as the ...natives had learnt that we were not tobe trifled with, and would have forced him on board rather than havepermitted their village to be destroyed. With Pangeran Budrudeen, acting as the representative of the sultan, Seriff Jaffer was obligedto resign all pretensions to the government of the province overwhich he had hitherto held sway, since it was considered, from hisbeing a Malay and from his relationship to Seriff Sahib, that he wasan unsafe person to be intrusted With so important a post.
A second conference on shore took place, at which the chiefs ofall the surrounding country attended, when the above sentence wasconfirmed.
