What reading level is There She Blows a Whaling Yarn book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
She never showed up again in New Bedford, nor was she spoken after we saw her. Her fate is one of the numberless mysteries the ocean holds the key to.
CHAPTER TEN WE dawdled along under cruising canvas, keeping a general southeasterly course. Signs of whales were abundant, and the Old Man was continually on the alert. The mast head lookouts were stimulated by the offered prize of a pound of ship s tobacco to the man who first saw a spout, but day after day passed and the welcome call never came... down to the deck. This cruising for whales and not getting them is tedious work, and I was delighted one morning, when the starboard watch was on deck, and the wind had completely failed, to find the Avola had drifted so close to an island I afterward knew it to be one of the New Heb rides that the wavelets could be seen break ing on the beach of white sand, and the cocoa- nut groves in full view tossing their plumed heads in the air. A little after sunrise, when canoes were observed gathering along the water s edge with the evident intention of com ing out to the ship, the port watch forbore their 112 A Whaling Yarn 113 sleep to remain on deck, and enjoy the sen sation.
