152 HISTORY OF C OH ASSET. 



Liate, where a footbridge crossed Bound Brook as early as 

 1640, thirty years previous to this survey. From this front 

 highway there were side ways laid out by the surveyor, 

 leading up into the woods. 



One was between lots seventeen and eighteen three rods 

 wide, about one half mile from Bound Rock ; but it was 

 afterwards declared impassable. 



Another side way three rods wide was to run from Jacob's 

 Meadow to Scituate Pond ; and it succeeded, for it is there 

 now, called Pond Street. 



A third of the same width was laid out, half a mile 

 farther north, and is now called Sohier Street. 



One more such highway was drawn on the surveyor's 

 plan at the side of the last lot from the steep rocks called 

 " Pye Corner,"* at the north side of the Ridges, to King 

 Street at a point opposite the present almshouse ; but it 

 never was traveled. 



At the place where the Cohasset railroad station now 

 is, a broad, swampy meadow sixty rods long and twenty 

 rods broad was cut out of the front end of six lots, because 

 fresh mowing meadows had been granted there twenty- 

 four years before. 



Having given all the shareholders a narrow slice of the 

 preferred land, the Second Division was then parceled out 

 among them by a new drawing of lots. 



The first lot of the Second Division was Supper Island,! 

 lying partly surrounded by marsh, east of what is now 

 Joseph S. Bigelow's residence, beside the Gulf. 



The next island in the division was called Gulf Island, 

 the peak of which is Kent's Rock and its north boundary 

 our Cove, surrounded on the west and south, not by water, 

 but by meadow land where Summer Street now runs. 

 Another large rocky upland called Great Neck, on the south 



* Perhaps so named for the kind of lunch that the surveyor ate there. 

 fThe domestic event suggested by this name might have happened to the sur- 

 veyor at this place, or possibly to the cowboys that herded cattle here.
