Don't you know that it is rather a serious thing to delay a Spanish mailboat?
I don't expect him until he calls for his man—the one I've just hove out—when the West-coast mailboat comes in.
Wyndham was wanted at home, the ebb tide was running and a mailboat was due to call at Takana lagoon.
You could find a West-coast mailboat goin' home if you went down the creek in the launch.
The afternoon passed in preparation of monthly reports scheduled to go on the mailboat expected in that evening.
