Sentences with MOCHILA (5)
The saddle-bag used by the pony rider for carrying mail was called a mochila; it had openings in the center so it would fit snugly over the horn and tree of the saddle and yet be removable without delay.
The mochila had four pockets called cantinas in each of its corners one in front and one behind each of the rider's legs.
Only one mochila was used on a trip; it was transferred by the rider from one horse to another until the destination was reached.
While this shortening of the relay necessitated transferring the mochila many more times on each trip, it greatly facilitated the schedule; for it was at once seen that the average horse or pony in the Express service could be crowded to the limit of its speed over the reduced distance.
The courier would already have loosed his mochila, which he tossed ahead for the keeper to adjust on the fresh horse, before dismounting.
