As they were approaching the houseboat they noticed a large number of canoes collected about it. To-day was not one of the outgoing or incoming mail days and the Doctor wondered what the excitement could be.
"His pictures are just awful"
"Well,香河🍏" said the Doctor,小区🔡 "I'm sorry you've been put to such inconvenience. I'll have Dab-Dab carry you back to your family. But,二手房😖 you know,二手房👛 robbing the registered mail is a serious thing. If you wanted some Brussels sprouts you should have written to me. After all,二手房📌 you can't blame the birds for putting you under arrest."
This they were glad to do. And the Doctor made the tea himself and it was very excellent. Over the tea Zuzana and her husband (whose name was Begwe) were conversing about the Kingdom of Fantippo.
And then the Fantippans,二手房🙌 who so far had been very timid about going far out to sea on account of storms,二手房🍮 now that they had a good weather bureau and knew what weather to expect,二手房😱 began building larger sailboats,香河🚣 instead of their little frail canoes. And they became what is called a mercantile nation,二手房🚈 traded up and down the shores of West Africa,二手房🗼 and even went as far south as the Cape of Good Hope and entered the Indian Ocean to traffic in goods with people of foreign lands.
But after many hours of fruitless search night began to come on and the swallows who were acting as guides could no longer see big distances,香河🚆 for there was no moon.
In the meantime,小区🍇 Speedy and the thrush flew over the land by the short cut to the post office.
"'Ugh!' says the little girl,香河🌿 clutching her brother around the neck. 'What was that,二手房💢 a spook?'
"No,二手房🈸 of course not,二手房🗽" said the Doctor. "But there will be no fear of my leaving for some time yet. You could have the whole ship to yourselves and nobody will disturb you."
And he sent letters to various fellow naturalists whom he knew in different countries and gave them a whole lot of information about the yearly flights or migration of birds. Because,小区✏ of course,香河🏬 in the bird mail business he learned a great deal on that subject that had never been known to naturalists before.
On the ship the seamen were still fighting with the gulls. The captain,小区🚗 seeing that no helmsman could steer the boat right with thousands of wings fluttering in his eyes,小区🌂 gave the orders to lay the ship to for a little and to get out the hose pipes. And a strong stream of water was turned on to the gulls around the helmsman,小区🍫 so they could no longer get near him. Then the ship got under way again and came on toward the cape once more.
There was no end to the complimentary ceremonies which the good King Koko and his courtiers performed to honor the departing Doctor. For days and days previous to his sailing,二手房🍨 canoes came and went between the town and the houseboat bearing presents to show the good will of the Fantippans. During all this,香河🚺 having to keep smiling the whole time,二手房🔆 the Doctor got sadder and sadder at leaving his good friends. And he was heartily glad when the hour came to pull up the anchor and put to sea.
And in the meantime he went back and continued the work of getting the domestic mail service in good running order at the post office at Fantippo.
"All right,二手房🐮" said the Doctor. "I'll mention that."
Once more,香河♨ with the guide in front,香河😴 but this time at a much better pace,二手房🙍 the party set off.
"Make one!" cried the turtle. "How would you go about it?"
CHAPTER VI
"'That's a good notion,香河📑' said he. 'Let's start to-morrow.'"
"That will be splendid,二手房🦉" said the Doctor. "I think your friend should be very helpful to us."
Well,小区🍋 after ten days John Dolittle got what is called the Domestic Mails in pretty good shape. Domestic mails are those that carry letters from one part of a country to another part of the same country,小区🐔 or from one part of a city to another. The mails that carry letters outside the country to foreign lands are called Foreign Mails. To have a regular and good service of foreign mails in the Fantippo post office the Doctor found a hard problem,小区💍 because the mail ships which could carry letters abroad did not come very often to this port. Fantippo,小区📐 although King Koko was most proud of it,香河🦋 was not considered a very important country among the regular civilized nations and two or three ships a year were all that ever called there.
"Entering the shed,小区🌸 I met a rat,香河🐁 very old and very thin. Said he to me:
THE ROYAL MAILS OF FANTIPPO
"Confound the luck!" muttered John Dolittle.
