Through this opening the boys used to climb and swing bravely over the open stairway on tlle other side of the railing beyond, a daring feat which served as a gradulation (diploma from childhood into b)oyhool. From the large west room on tlle first floor, a dloor leads throughl a small pantry to the "cook house" two steps below. 1-1 this kitchen is the real old New England fireplace, with its eranle and iron pots, an(d beside it was tlle prillitiVe )lake-oven frollm which calle delicious loaves" nlade from flour lthat had coImi all the way around Caple Horn. Ten steps down,l in tlle baselient, was thle (lining roo111, separated from the cellar p rolpe y partitions aiid lpave( with tile first lIricks brought to tile islands, calledl by thle natives L"Uwinlihlepa" because brought by Captain Winship. A long table was spread iere at which fifty or nlore lpersons were often seated, thlie miission wives taking turnls "week about" at the cooking. Coral steps lead upward from tils general ldiniin room to the front yard alnd to tlie back yard as well. In the cellar proper were kept tlhe supplies; the barrel of treacle, with its spigot, from which tlhe molasses jug was replenished; the vinegar barrel also stood here; and lhiere was deposited for a short time tihe barrels of flour, so compact afte r tlie long voyage tllat they were actually sawn asunder and solid half-barrels (listriluted to the several fallilies, who clol)ped tlhe flour up with hatchets. There were queer stories told about thllis cellar while tlie excavation was being inadle and tlie louse was building. The natives were 7 assuredl ly the beach-combers that this was a place for storing firearms and gunpowder with which to subdue the people and capture the islands. Of this new house, as of the church basement, another story was that a humani sacrifice wouldl be buried at each of the four corners, as had lbee, tile ancient Hawaiian customl when a Heiau (temple) or a pailace was built. At one time, whil te te Binghlams occlpied the Waikiki end of the ()ld Missioin Hlome, a secondl cook house, a pantry and a bedroom w(c 1e built onl tlat 1end. Solmetime about 1835 the Halls and Ives famililies overflowed into the two-room coral house from which the pirinting press li(a beein r'emoved. In 1840, the Binglhams returned to the United States, later tlhe Ju(dds a(nd Halls hadl homies (down town, the Ives left for iAmerica, aInd in 185( the Cookes occupied the Old Mission Iome alone.

HIS little structure still stands on King Street, betlween the oldest frame buil(lillg and thle large coral Chani)erlain Ilouse. An entry in the mission letter for August 30, 1823 slates: "Completed the walls of the printing house, which when covered will He ready for use. The buil(ing hlas cost 250 Doll. and will probably require 50 i tore to complete it. The walls, snung aind firm, are made of old coral, dug in the plain a few rods front our door, and laid in mortar llmade of the cOmil1mo10 soil. The (ldimenlsions are 28 feet by 17, which will afford room, for two presses withl their variety of apparatus, when tlhe Scriptures slihall be ready to )e prinlcd. We have sent to Canton for tile to cover the roof." T'lis was lproaly the first printing house west of tlhe Rocky Mountains. The printing press, according to Mr. Loom is' journal, was unpacked oni August 5, 1820, anld found uninjured by the long voyage around Cape Horn. (On January 23, 1821, tlie roof of the tlhatched house where it was stor(led loew off and tli)c piress was taken to tlie Loomis' living room. On Decemlber 21, 1821, it was.again set up and on January 7, 1822, the first publlic plinting was done, Keeaumoku (Governor Cox) taking off tlhe first sheet which was, accorlding to Mr. Dibble, tlhe first eight pages of lle tlawaiian Spelling book. For several days in Feruary of thlat y'ear printing was done, bt Ioperations we'et then slusped'lld(, untlil the following tyar saw the erect ionl of this miore perimane;t little slon(e holilse. 9 Ini 1835, a larger printing office was bulilt across the street where the Mission 'Memorial Building 110w stand(s, and( the two roonts of the. 01(1 printinig office were used1 to suppl)emenft the 01(1 framie d1welling~ house, b)einhg occup iedl successively by the Hail, ives and C~ooke, fanmilies.

Of great interest is onie of the p~icture~s onl the wall, an 01(1 print, of the Hawaiian youths who accoinpanie(1 the jpionecrs of the inission to 1 he Sandwich I slainds in 1819, youths who llae(1 been pupils at th1at fa,1Mous School in Cornwall, Coi11 -necticut, where young (Obookiaht's life,ih(l (leatlh iiispiire( t his very Sandwich Islandls Mission.
