Haroutiun, his mother and sister were with a caravan of deportation driven on to Arabkir. His father and uncles had gone to Russia before the war. Haroutiun, being but a small boy at that time, does not remember the name of his mother and sister. In Arabkir a Turk took him in his house, and he became a servant and worked hard without any recompense. After many years of slavery he fled with some muleteers and reached Malatia. There some Armenians gathered the money for his travelling expenses, and one day he arrived in Aleppo, where he addressed us for help, and of course we took him in.
