What reading level is The Loss of the Royal George book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We were running before the wind, within rather less than hailing distance of the Frenchman, who was onour larboard beam. In little more than half an hour we had shot awaythe Frenchman's mizzenmast and wheel; but our mainmast was badlywounded, and every instant I expected it to fall. Having lost commandof her rudder, the _Cleopatre_ fell aboard us, her jib-boom passingthrough our fore and mainmast. I thought that this would finish ourmainmast, but, fortunately, the Frenchman's jib-boom gave way....
We were blazing away all this time, raking the _Cleopatre_ fore and aft. We had lost a good many officers and men, and I saw two midshipmenknocked over not far from me. I looked out for Harry and ReginaldLeslie, and I caught sight of them, still standing unharmed amid thesmoke, but I had not much time even to think about them or anything elseexcept my duty.
We now fell alongside the enemy head and stern, being still foul of eachother. Her larboard-main-topsail studden-sail-boom iron having hookedthe leach-rope of our maintop-sail, I had still good reasons to tremblefor our mainmast.
