What reading level is Youth, And Two Other Stories book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The weight flew after a single whir, the line whistled, splash followed splash in haste.
The water had shoaled, and the man, instead of the drowsy tale of fathoms, was calling out the soundings in feet.
" Fifteen feet. Fifteen, fifteen ! Fourteen, four- teen . . -" Captain Whalley lowered the arm holding the glasses.
It descended slowly as if by its own weight; no other part of his towering body stirred; and the swift cries with their eager warning note passed him by as though he had been deaf....
Massy, very still, and turning an attentive ear, had fastened his eyes upon the silvery, closercropped back of the steady old head. The ship herself seemed to be arrested but for the gradual decrease of depth under her keel.
" Thirteen feet . . . Thirteen ! Twelve ! " cried the leadsman anxiously below the bridge. And suddenly the barefooted Serang stepped away noiselessly to steal a glance over the side.
Narrow of shoulder, in a suit of faded blue cotton, an old gray felt hat rammed down on his head, with a hollow in the nape of his dark neck, and with his slender limbs, he appeared from the back no bigger than a boy of fourteen.
