Garabed, with his parents, three brothers and one sister, were exiled to Deir-el-Zor. On the road his sister overwhelmed with fatigue and hunger died. The two brothers were lost and one was killed. He with his parents was forced to continue the terrible journey and reached Ras-el-Ain. After a few days breathing space they were again pressed forward as far as Khabur, where Garabed lost his parents and he, himself remained eleven years in a Tchetchen's house working for him. One time the tribe with whom he was living came near Deir-el-Zor, there Garabed found a chance to flee to our agent who sent him to us.
