Digitized by VjOOQIC REMINISCENCES 41 The old government house, at the head of Kaahumann Htreei, on Merchant street, which has just been demolished, was a favorite rendezvous for the boys of the town, and many a time were we driven away. A high tower with a signal station, occupied one side of the building, and from this place the community was advised of the approach of vessels, by aid of signals. The Ewa side of the building was utilized for the post-office and the other side by Whitney^s boo...k store and news emporium, while the upper floor was used for offices. Mails were brought ashore then by the pilot boat and carried to the post-office by hand carts, of which a number for hire could always be found in the vicinity. One hand cart would be large enough to hold the mail ordinarily, but if two carts had to be used, it was considered quite an event, and indeed on several occasion editorial comment on the arrival of a heavy mail appeared in the newspapers. There were very few trees in Honolulu then, and the view to the waterfront was unobstructed.
