VICTORIA'S FIRST WHITE WOMAN
The colony of Victoria, Australia,
is still so youthful that the first white
woman who set foot upon its soil,
Mrs. Stephen George Henty, died re
cently. She was born at Stokesby,
Yorkshire, in 1816, and went with her
mother to western Australia, where at
the age of twenty she married a
7
Swan river pioneer, Mr. Henty. Soon
afterward they moved to Tasmania,
and thence sailed in a small vessel
which reached the bay at Portland
one Sunday night in June, 1836. In
the moonlight Mrs. Henty was carried
ashore through the surf, and thus
achieved the distinction of being Vic
toria's first white woman, as her son,
born in August, 1837, was the first
white male native.
