Novart was exiled with her parents and two sisters. On the road to Ras-el-Ain her mother died of hunger and fatigue. In the vicinity of the above mentioned city the gendarms killed her father and they sold the three sisters to Arabs each one for three Medjidies.

            Novart's possessor was Hamo Ali, who kept her for many years in his tent and married her. She got a child by this man but after two years the child died. Her husband married another Arab woman who began to treat Novart very ill. One day she left her master's tent and fled to the chief of the tribe. The chief was a noble man. He sent her secretly to our agent in Ras-el-Ain from where she was sent to us.

Left for the village July 3, 1928. In order to marry there. Married to No. 1177.
