What reading level is The Old Shipmasters of Salem With Mention of Eminent Merchants book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
M. , when the English brig laid the Montgomery aboard on the starboard waist, the port anchor catching in her after-gun port, the enemy's spritsail-yard and jib-boom sweeping over the waist guns. Under this condition of things, the Montgomery kept up a fire of mus- ketry and such guns as could be brought to bear, which was returned with musketry by regular platoons of soldiers. In this way the fight continued for nearly an hour. The Montgomery finally filled her foretopsail and became disengage...d from the enemy, break- ing his anchor, making a hole in the Mont- gomery's deck, breaking five stanchions, and staving in ten feet of bulwark, with standing rigging much cut up. She hauled off for repairs, having several men killed and a large number wounded ; among the latter were Captain Upton and Lieutenant John Edwards. It was thought prudent to go north into cooler weather on account of the wounded. The enemy was right glad to escape. On the deck of the Montgomery were found three boarding-pikes, one mus- Of Salem 105 ket, and two pots of combustible material belonging to the enemy.
