Most of this unfortunate people were killed or wounded. Farfure could flee with another Armenian lady. They went together to one of the environing villages but there they have been caught by officials of the Turkish Government and exiled there again. On the road she fled again, this time she did not go to a village but she made herself a shelter under the ground where she lived a few months.
