A bridle-path over the hills, the only available road to the Plain when the first colonists landed, may be discerned. Immediately behind Mr Godley's house and the barracks, is a fifty acre section of land, presented to the College by the widow of the late Mr Somes, M.P. for Dartmouth, the whole of which is sure to become town land, and highly valuable. This property is given for a scholarship to be named after the founder. At the time represented, the Sumner Road was still unfinished at some places of difficult engineering; and the first settlers, having but just arrived, had erected no permanent residences. At the time of the latest advices (March last), the passengers by the first four ships had selected their rural lands, and the greater part of them had removed from the Port to settle at and near Lyttelton in the Plain.
