What reading level is Thirty Years At Sea the Story of a Sailors Life book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The coal for the steamers is always ready in lighters moored in the harbor, so that there is no delay. When the lighters are brought alongside the steamer, the coal is soon put on board by the people employed for the purpose, who are generally natives of some of the other islands of the group. A large proportion are women, who carry the baskets and bags on their heads, and run up the plank with the agility of monkeys, and with quite as much chatter. While thus employed they sel- dom encumber th...emselves with much clothing, the coal- dust throwing a discreet veil over their persons ; but when not at work, they indulge in a good deal of dirty finery, in the shape of gaudy calico and brass jewelry. Although these women are by no means models, they are much better than the men, being at least industri- ous, while the men are apt to be dissolute, drunken, and idle.
The supercargo, who was an old trader in the islands, soon saw that something was wrong on shore, for there was not the usual bustle consequent on the arrival of a vessel.
