What reading level is The Story of Our Navy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
About midnight the Eber began dragging anchors, and an hour later the Vandalia was in the same condition, both using their steam to keep from drifting upon the inner reef or colliding with the other vessels.
Daybreak found all the ships dragging anchors and drifting down upon the inner reef. The Eber seemed utterly helpless. Suddenly she was hurled upon the reef by the great combing breakers, rolled over on her side, and in a few minutes smashed to pieces. By this time the Samoans had gathered ...on the shore, and, though the Ger- mans were their enemies, the instant they saw the plight of the Eber they grasped hands and made a human life- line — standing far out in the surf where no white man could have lived — and hauled in the few survivors who came ashore. Only one officer and four men of the Eber were saved.
The next ship to strike the reef was the Adler, but the hull was driven so high out of the water that all but twenty were saved by staying in the wreck out of the reach of the breakers.
