Today we take for granted that the mail will be delivered daily at our 【S1】______

underneath a rock. In the early days of the mail no one could be sure about

At the southern tip of Africa there was once a post office under a rock.
At the old days the route from England to India was around the Cape of 【S4】______
Good Hope. The journey was stormy and danger. It took six long months. 【S5】______
Sailors often 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 【S6】______
for a certain large stone. On the stone scratched the words "Look hereunder 【S7】______
for letters." They would leave their letters there, knowing that the
next homeward ship would stop and pick it up. 【S8】______
There was another post office like this at the southern tip of South America.
During the golden rush days, boats sailed around Cape Horn to 【S9】______
California. At Cape Horn was a keg(小桶) nailed to a post. Boats coming
