mystery. He was found last month in
Ceylon, where he had gone as e~lectri-

his return home during last week was
the result of the efforts of detectives
who, for nearly two years. hunted for
him IN all parts of the world. Young
Rev reached Buffalo last "Wednesday

statement made at tho time when The
first definite news of his son reached
him. Mr.. Esbon b. Rev, the young
mans father, he went to New York af-
ter leaving Cornell, engaged passage
on n cattle ship and worked his way 10
Bordeaux, France, AZ this place he
secured employment with an electric

where he contracted 10 look after the
electric machinery of a tramp trading
ship bound for the East Indies.
Mr.. Rows statement also was 20
the effect that Oh the day when his son
disappeared. Oct. ?. 1884. the young
man felt an irresistible desire to leave

perfect himself in French and German,

ments, which were made by Mr.. Rev
from information contained in the let

ing told by the detectives that his pa
rents considered him dead, are corrob-
Grated by the young man himself.
When asked to explain his movements
between the time of leaving Ithaca and
reaching New York, however, he Is I'M
able to give any account of his ran
behring's. For q space Of several days,
he declares. his mind is a blank.
From the moment of setting out from
the lower end Of Cayuga lake until he
found himself aboard the vessel bound
for France. he says he can remember
nothing. lie came to his senses to find
himself on the ocean. His story Is told
in such a straightforward manner
that II Is believed by his parents. and
II Is not known whether he walked or
rode from Ithaca to New York, or now
many days he took for the journey.
Possibly some of the tales that were
rife Of n young man answering young
Rew's description having been seen in
various sections of the state were
really founded on the fact that he had
been there. He is unable to tell wheth-
er or not they are true, however, and
this part of his wanderings may al
ways remain a sealed book.
Aside from these first few DAYS.
young Rev tells the story of his adj
ventures in detail with great minute
ness. His education enabled him to
find friends among n class OF people
who threw in his way opportunities for
profitable employment, and from and
through whom he succeeded admirably
IN learning the languages, French and
German, his lack of proficiency in

and had indirectly caused him to 60
