Karekin was exiled from Urfa to Mardin, there his father fell ill and died. When his mother was compelled to go further on with the caravan, she in order to save her son's life, gave him of her own accord to an Arab woman. In the course of eleven years only a vague and distant impression of his mother remained in Karekin's memory, but yet, as he grew up, he managed to make his way to get the track of his mother. One day, worn and exhausted, he reached Hassitshe and knocked at the door of our agent, who took him under his charge, then sent him to us.
