Description

"3. On the 22nd April the station of Mr John Gardiner, near Port Phillip, was attacked by a party of blacks, some of whom had firearms; they were, however, repulsed and two of them who were subsequently taken were recognized as having been under the instruction of Mr Langhorne, the missionary at Port Phillip. No lives were lost, though shots were fired on both sides." pp356-357 Gipps, Sir George 'Aboriginal attacks summarised: Enclosure in dispatch from Sir George Gipps to Lord Glenelg, 21 July 1838' in Cannon, Michael (ed.)
