Miss Mary Mitchell, author of a first novel called “A Warning to Wantons,” in keen demand in London, comes of an old Melbourne family. Her great-grand-mother, left a widow with eight children, chartered a ship, filled it with relatives and attendants, and sailed for Tasmania in 1834. Another hearty ancestor was her grandfather, who stamped out bush-ranging in the district where he lived in six months. Miss Mitchell’s father, Sir Edward Fancourt Mitchell, is Chancellor of the Archdiocese of Melbourne and leader of the Victorian Bar.
