What reading level is The Flight of the Lapwing a Naval Officers Jottings in China Formosa And Japa book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
After much difficulty a house was at length procured, and fifty of the natives engaged at gd. Per head to convey the stores across the beach. These good people were at once set to work, and as it was necessary to guard against pil- fering, they were sorted out in couples, given a load, and then the whole party started off, with one of our own men in front and another behind, to keep them together and watch the stores. On this principle we kept them going steadily, and found it answer well.
They... were mostly fishermen, and as there is little employment during the winter months, this was quite a windfall. The wages may seem small, but in reality ninepence is a good sum for a China- man. We found them very willing, tractable, and intelligent in this particular line of business, and of very great assistance ; indeed, 1 do not know what we should have done without their help, for our own men were very fully occupied in clearing out the ship, and it would have taken us weeks to carry everything across the shingle to the store.
