What reading level is Thirty Six Years of a Seafaring Life book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I had a fine clinker-built boat, nineteen feet long ; tne value of the boat was nothing when compared to the life of one human being ; I determined to make the attempt to veer her astern, and endeavour to save some of the sufferers from the wreck ; with some trouble we got her out, dropped her under the vessel's stern where the sea was comparatively smooth, rove a hawser through the ringbolt in her stem, and taking a good turn round her foremast thwart, veered her away gently over the long roll...ing sea. Every thing bid fair, and seemed to pro- mise success ; my vessel being just in the wind's eye of the wreck, the boat dropped amidship of her, but the sea striking the wreck, bounded back into the boat and filled her before one soul could get into her. I was obliged to bring the hawsers to the windlass, but the thwart starting, the ring gave way and the boat went on the rocks and soon was beat to atoms. I felt little regret for the boat, though she had cost me nineteen guineas, but a sincere grief that she had not been instrumental in saving some poor creatures from their awful situation.
