The Journal of Edward Ward 1850-51

Left Bowen's about ten, and started with young Wakefield page 118for the Port—previously visiting Christchurch. The survey office was in progress, and promises to be a very handsome building. Dr Barker has established himself snugly under the stun' sail on his own land, with all his family and goods about him. There are some beautiful sites of houses in this part of the river, both on the left and right bank. 'The Bricks' does not seem so thriving, but the end sections there are sure to be valuable for some time. Got to Lyttelton nearly exhausted with heat about four o'clock; dined at five at the Mitre, got a good mutton dinner, table d'hote, and a good bottle of beer. Found the Monarch, 400 tons, in from Akaroa with timber and coals, and the Alice, 300 tons, with flour and horses, from Launceston. All were well. Henry and I determined not to go at first to Rangiora, but to choose a section with choice No. 23 nearer home.
