What reading level is Yakusu the Very Heart of Africa Being Some Account of the Protestant Mission book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The carcase of an elephant was found by some Yakusuites floating past one Saturday. By dint of super- human exertion, its huge mass was dragged to the top of the cliff, at the point nearest to where it was discovered, which happened to be on the boundary of our property next to the native dwellings. The chief forbade them to cut it up till Monday, as he wished to please us by this show of reverence for the Sabbath. The tainted atmosphere is more easily imagined than described, and its full effe...ct was heightened by a slight wind that sprang up and blew it across the station, so that every missionary dwelling benefited by this respect for the Sabbath.
At our first occupation of Yakusu, the " chiggoe, " more commonly termed " jigger, " was scarcely known. It is one of the benefits which civilization has unconsciously conferred, there being every reason to believe that they were introduced from South America by traders. One thing is certain, this little pest, surely the worst of all burrowing insects that can afflict man, found a home and a climate and surroundings admirably adapted to the propagation of its species, for it has multiplied in myriads, and raced up the Congo valley, claiming its victims more rapidly than the germs of any disease could have done.
