What reading level is Wonders in the Western Isles Being a Narrative of the Commencement And Progress book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And here terminates the more eventful period of the mission's history. From this time forward we meet with little calling for particular notice.
112 LAST CASE OF STRANGLING.
The storms in which the mission had been cradled had spent themselves, and the stream of events flowed smoothly on. Now and again we meet with an outburst of heathen rage, in the shape of an assault on those who sought to lead them from darkness to light. Such outbursts, how- ever, were now no longer to be dreaded, and they... became more and more infrequent.
The last case of strangling that occurred was of a peculiarly revolting character a meet winding -up to so horrible a practice. It took place in March, 1857, at an obscure inland village, a great distance from the mission stations. Between three and four years had passed since a case had occurred ; and the missionaries and the Chris- tian party were resting in the conviction that there would ibe no more strangling on Aneiteum. It was on the occa- sion of the death of a child ; the father and uncle of the child strangled their own mother!
