For three hours we waited for dawn, then se- ! cured horses and came to this city. | Kind-hearted Bulgarian friends rush. ed from their houses as soon as they caught glimpse of the strange-ap- bearing travellers, took us in their arms from our horses, with tears and smiles and words of welcome, and led us into their house.
 Word was quickly sent to the friends, engaged in their morning service at church, and they came, old and young, to greet Us. What thanksgiving to God for this proof prayers, for all-even the little chil dren-had never ceased to pray for us-their lost friends, !;
 Since that hour our waking time has been crowded with friends from the city and surrounding villages, who have brought us their heartfelt con- | gratulations for our delverance
 The Turkish gove vernment did not fail to question us as to our experi- ences. The governor of the city, with his suite, called this morning and again this afternoon, after the arri- val of Dr. House and his son from Salonika, accompanied by NJ. Gargi- ulo, the first dragoman of the Ameri- can embassy at Constantinople. The last three have come to accompany us to Salonika tomorrow, where Mir. Tsilka awaits his long-lost wife and their baby. They have brought me a bundle of letters from mother and my brothers and dearest friends. Thus with unspeakable gratitude to to God and to all friends who by prayers and gifts have helped to free us, we begin our life of freedom. Your sister,
