Today we take for granted that the mail will be delivered --71--
daily at our door. But many years ago it might have been
placed in a tree trunk and underneath a rock. In the early --72--
days of the mail no one could be sure about where or when it will arrive. --73--
At the southern tip of Africa there was once a post office --74--
under a rock. At the old days the route from England to
India was around the Cape of Good Hope. The journey was
stormy and danger. It took six long months. Sailors often --75--
wished to send mail home, but they seldom met ships bound
back to England. So at the cape the sailors would go on
ashore. They headed for a certain large stone. On the --76--
stone scratched the words Look hereunder for letters. --77--

sailed around Cape Horn to California. At Cape Horn was

mailed letters home that boats sail east could pick up.--80--
