What reading level is The Straits of Malacca Indo China And China Or Ten Years Travels Adventures book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
353 notice that each seaman is supplied with a strong teak bunker, to hold his effects, and to serve him also instead of a couch or chair.
This gun-vessel carries one huge Armstrong gun on her upper deck, and is to be fitted with the same weapons throughout. Her armament, therefore, will render her a formidable enemy to pirates, though not perhaps of much service in a combat with any Euro pean Power.
Our next visit is to a vessel in commission lying off the arsenal, and manned throughout, from ...captain to cabin-boy, by an entirely Chinese crew. Stepping on deck from the gangway, we are saluted in military style by a Ningpo marine, who informs us, in tolerable English, that we shall find the captain in his cabin. The dress of this marine is admirable, consisting of a black turban, blue blouse, pantaloons with red stripe, and a pair of neat and strongly made native shoes. A well-kept belt fastens in the blouse at the waist, and supports also a cartouche-box and side-arms.
An officer of marines next welcomes us on board, and says : S pose you likee, my can show you my drill pidjin, an offer which we gladly accept.
