At first sight it seemed probable that the missing man had been murdered for his money. On the afternoon of the day when he was last seen in Millbrook the fact of his having four hundred pounds in bank bills in his possession was known to a great many people, for, as already intimated, he told the story of his dispute at the bank to pretty nearly everyone with whom he came in contact during the subsequent portion of the day, and he in every instance wound up his narration by proclaiming to all whom it might concern that he had the notes in his pocket. AT FIRST SIGHT IT SEEMED PROBABLE THAT THE MISSING MAN HAD BEEN MURDERED FOR HIS MONEY ON THE AFTERNOON OF THE DAY WHEN HE WAS LAST SEEN AT MILLBROOK THE FACT OF HIS HAVING FOUR HUNDRED POUNDS ON BANK BILLS IN HIS POSSESSION WAS KNOWN TO A GREAT MANY PEOPLE FOR AS ALREADY INTIMATED HE TOLD THE STORY OF HIS DISPUTE AT THE BANK TO PRETTY NEARLY EVERY ONE WHO WITH WHOM HE CAME IN CONTACT DURING THE SUBSEQUENT PORTION OF THE DAY AND HE IN EVERY INSTANCE WOUND UP HIS NARRATION BY PROCLAIMING TO ALL WHOM IT MIGHT CONCERN HE HAD THE NOTES IN HIS POCKET
urther prosecute the search. A reward of a hundred pounds was offered for any information which should lead to the discovery of the missing man, dead or alive, or, which should throw any light upon his fate. Hand-bills proclaiming this reward, and describing the man's personal appearance, were exhibited in every bar room and other conspicuous place throughout Westchester and the adjacent townships. Advertisements, setting forth the main facts, were inserted in the principal newspapers of Toronto, Hamilton and London, as well as in those of several of the nearest county towns. All to no purpose. Days--weeks--months passed by, and furnished not the shadow of a clue to the mysterious disappearance of Reginald Bourchier Savareen on the night of Monday, the 17th of July, 1854. CHAPTER VI. SPECULATIONS. For a long time subsequent to the night of the disappearance a more puzzled community than the one settled along the Millbrook and Spotswood road would have been hard to find in Upper Canada.
