What reading level is The Story of the Atlantic Cable book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Then a tremendous sea struck her forward, drenching those on deck, and leaving them up to their knees in water, and the least versed on board could see that things were fast going to the bad unless a change took place in the weather or the condition of the ship. Of the first there seemed little chance. The weather certainly showed no disposition to clear on the contrary, livid -looking black clouds seemed to be closing round the vessel faster and faster than ever. For the relief of the ship thr...ee courses were open to Captain Preedy one, to wear round and try her on the starboard tack, as he had been com- THE STORM.
99 pelled to do the day before ; another to fairly run for it before the wind ; and, third and last, to endeavour to lighten the vessel by getting some of the cable overboard. Of course, the latter would not have been thought of till the first two had been tried and failed in fact, not till it was evident that nothing else could save the ship. Against wearing round there was the danger of her again falling off into the trough of the sea, losing her masts, shifting the upper deck-coil, and so finding her way to FIG.
