In the beginning of the war Misak's father was put in prison and killed. He was exiled with his mother and three brothers to Deir-el-Zor, where an Arab took his elder brother and went away with him. He, himself was taken by an Arab who kept him eleven years as a servant.

            Once the wandering tribe to whom he belonged, came near Abu Herrara. There the inn-keeper was an Armenian and was speaking in Armenian language with his comrades. Misak remembered some words of his own language and stood confounded before them, he could not imagine at all to see Armenians still living. The inn-keeper informed him about our rescue-home and helped him to reach our agent in Hassitshe, whence he was sent to us.
