Hovhannes came on the road with his parents.

The caravan was driven to and fro and at last after some months of sufferings the poor people reached Bab. 

There all the men were killed also Hovhannes’ father. The mother was taken away by one Arab and Hovhannes by another. 

Sometimes ago the mother fled to Aleppo. There she asked our help about rescueing her son. 

After much trouble and many exenses our agent succeeded in getting Hovhannes away from the Muslems. 

He is now happy and living with his mother. 

His mother was found in Aleppo, Hovhannes went to live with her.
