Meantime hoping to save in this way the whole family. But they could not avoid the exile and were sent forwards in an unknown direction. Megerditch remained all alone among the Arabs he had to work eleven years as a shepherd for his masters. When he grew up, fled from his master, because he was very cruel. Outside the town once he saw an auto passing in great speed. He as a signal took his head-dress and waved it in the air. The auto waited for him. The driver was an Armenian who took him on his ride and gave him up to our agent in Hassitshe, whence he was turned over to us.
