In 1885, the U. S. Post Office had a problem in the southern state of Florida. The delivery service f【21】Lake Worth to Biscayen Bay was taking six weeks.
They found a solution—a 136-mile route that took three days. It meant that the mailmen had to walk barefoot along beaches for eighty miles and then c【22】the remaining fifty-six miles by boat. This difficult job was f【23】carried out by mailman Edwin R. Bradley. In the summer of 1887, James "Ed" Hamilton took over deliveries but a few m【24】later his career ended suddenly in circumstances which made him f【25】in the Post Office.
The autumn weather that year was severe. On 9th October, Hamilton felt unwell as he set off. D【26】this, he arrived at his first stop, Orange Grove. His n【27】call should have been at a place named Fort Lauderdale Refuge. This time he didn’t arrive and he was never seen again. Nobody ever found out what h【28】to him.
In 1892, a road was b【29】and the days of the barefoot mailmen were over. However, their s【30】has never been forgotten. There are annual walks along the route, and a book and film have been made about them. [br]
