What reading level is The Last Cruise of the Saginaw book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We are very sensible of the discomforts that would be ours if tumbled upon some of the islands of the northern ocean in winter.
The moonlit nights have been grand, and calculated to foster romance in a sailor's thoughts were the surroundings appropriate. As it is, the little cheer we extract from them is in the fact that we see the same shining face that is illuminating the home of our loved ones.
Often in my corner of the tent, Mr. Foss and I pass what would be a weary hour other- wise, over a... game of chess, the pieces for which he has fashioned from gooney bones and blocks of wood.
Mr. Main has made a wonderful nautical instrument — a sextant — from the face of the Saginaw's steam gauge, together with ( 60) THE SAILING OF THE GIG some broken bits of a stateroom mirror and scraps of zinc. Its minute and finely drawn scale was made upon the zinc with a cambric needle, and the completed instrument is the result of great skill and patience. Mr. Talbot has tested it and pronounces it sufficiently accurate for navigating purposes.
