                  Yeghisapet was deported with her parents in her infancy. On the road to Deir-el-Zor an Arab killed her father and took possession of her mother. He kept them for several years in his house, then put them of doors. Soon her mother was taken by another Arab to his house but he would not accept the child. Thus, Yeghisapet was left alone in the streets till she was taken by a Tchetchen, with whom she lived 6 years, working for him.

                  Once, on the field, she met with an Armenian chauffeur, assured him firmly that she was an Armenian girl and asked his help. The chauffeur brought her to our reception-house.
