FOUND AT INVERCARGILL

MYSTERY OF MISSING MAN STEP-SISTER REPORTS HIM SAFE. SUFFERING FROM LOST MEMORY. The discovery of Mr, A. F. J. Hebbend at Invercargill has cleared up the mystery surrounding tlie finding of his accounts on the Maori at Lyttelton a week ago and a note saying, "Jumped overboard last night.” It is stated that he is suffering from loss of memory. Other than that, nothing was last night known in New Plymouth of his condition or how or when he reached Invercargill. He has a step-sister in that town. She telegraphed the information to her sister in Wellington, whence it. was conveyed to Mrs. Hebbend, Fukopi btreet, i'itzroy, in' a letter received yesterday. Mrs. Hebbend told the New Plymouth police. When seen by a Daily News reporter last evening Mrs. Hebbend said she believed- the lapse of memory was caused by business worries which, however, .were by no means as bad as her husband had apparently imagined. Since he had left she Jmd sold one of the houses they had for sale. In the absence of further information regarding her husband’s condition she was undecided last night whether she and one of her sons would make the trip to Invercargill to bring him back. Mr. Hebbend’s father lives in Wellington, where the son at one time was following the occupation of physical culturist and masseur. He was later a builder and bricklayer in Raetihi and, more recently, in New Plymouth.
