The clerk, as he gave them the tickets, informed them that, the repairs on the Carnatic having been completed, the steamer would leave that very evening, and not next morning, as had been announced.
De bureelist deelde hun echter mede dat, daar de herstellingen van de Carnatic waren voltooid, de mailboot dien avond ten acht ure zou vertrekken en niet den anderen morgen, zooals eerst was aangekondigd.
