What reading level is Twixt Sirdar Menelik An Account of a Years Expedition From Zeila to Cairo T book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We soon came upon a big herd in somewhat less dense jungle ; and without drawing on myself the tender attentions of any of them, I crept up to within a dozen yards, and then fired at the nearest, who staggered from the effects, and then toppled over ; a second, as he was moving off, I bowled over like a rabbit, with a shot behind the shoulder ; and then taking my other rifle, I wounded a third in the head. With the help of the two men who were with me, we had soon tracked him by the blood dropp...ings, and found him at a standstill in a very bad way, so that a second head shot finished him off in an instant. The middle-sized elephant of the three stood ten feet four inches high at the shoulder, having very fair tusks ; the other two, owing to the awkward position in which they had fallen, could not be measured. I was exceedingly pleased with my unexpected success, for my Abys- sinians had been telling me over and over again how their fellow-countrymen could knock over elephants. They used to say that if I would only take twenty men with me, and let all fire at one elephant, I would then have much more chance of killing, and that it was simply madness for me to try and shoot an elephant alone, for I should never do it.
