What reading level is Through And Through the Tropics: 30,000 Miles of Travel in Polynesia ... book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
While going up the Hoogly River, an outlet of the sacred Ganges, I first observed an instance of the prac- tical working of the Hindoo system of caste. A Baboo, or native clerk, who had eaten nothing during the day, rushed down the ladder into a boat that came alongside, and, first washing his mouth with water from the river, Digitized by VjOOQ IC WONDERS OF KANGAROO LAND. 125 begged a pipe from one of the boatmen. But as the latter was of a lower caste than himself, he would have been contamin...ated by using the same mouthpiece ; so, unscrewing the obnoxious part, he wrapped a towel around the end of the stem, and drew the smoke through this into his mouth. This served him as food during the day, for he would no more eat with an in- ferior grade of natives than with us.
On the 25th of October, 1870, just one year from the time of my leaving New York, and after a journey al- ready equal to the circumference of the globe, the Eaton Hall ended her voyage from Melbourne by dropping anchor opposite the splendid Oriental city of Calcutta.
