What reading level is Whispers From the Fleet book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To correct this 5 Easterly deviation at Plymouth, a fore and aft magnet, red forward, was placed in a certain hole in the binnacle. It would be found that by placing the 265 same magnet in the same hole at the Cape, 5' of Easterly deviation would be corrected. As the compass has only 2 Easterly deviation to be corrected, the magnet would cause 3 of Westerly to ensue. This is exactly what the above calculation tells us. The North end of the needle is to be swung to the left 5 by the hard iron ma...gnet, and back 3 by the bar, i. E. Altogether a correction of 2 E.
Now at Plymouth, the Flinder's Bar was placed on the after side of compass. It should be exactly the same at the Cape.
At the Cape, the lower end of the Bar is blue and the upper end red. 3 of Westerly deviation have to be corrected, head East. The Flinder's Bar must therefore be placed abaft the compass, as its red pole would repel the North end of the needle to the Eastward or forward. It would be found also that exactly the same length of bar would be required in both cases.
