LONDON, Sept, 1S.-There was an
interesting scene at the American
Consulate-General a few days ago,
when Arax aInggerichian, a pretty
Armenian girl, suddenly stepped out
of a line OF persons waiting 10 have
their passports vised for America
and, pointing to Vice4Consul Leslie
a. Davis, said hesitatingly 10 an at
tendant
"I believe that is the man that saw
ed my life!"
MIR Davis looked up and, catching
sight of the girl, arose and greeted
her.
Its a ,ong way from Turkish Ar
Imenia TO London" said the Vice-Con-
sui Tel me, how did you get
here?"
q have been travelling nearly a
year. much OF the time ON foot she
answered 4 have just come here
from Baku, where I understand the
British have recently landed troops.
am on MY way to New York, where
l have relatives"
Her father, she said, was for more
than twenty years dragoman of the
british Vice-Consulate at Diarbel1ir,
in Turkish Armenia, but the family
had to fee to escape massacre From
I Diarbeldr they went to fLarput and
sought the protection of the Ameri-
lean Consul, then Mr. Davis.
ITO avoid being sent to harem,
said Miss MuggerdicHian, u went as
a nurse into the American hospital
and worked there for eight monhs.
One Of the patients there was a Tur-
kish commander, and out CT graft
tude to me he said that if ever | was
in danger i could take refuge in his
home, which was in Iarput. One
} day i was out alone, when three Turks
on horseback ran after me.
: Remembering what the Turkish
commander had said, ran to his
house, which was near by and there
i was safe"
''lfrom the window of the house
attracted the attention of some
friends and got back to tile American
lConsuPs house.
But with the massacres spreading
it became unsafe tor Us to stop any
longer at Harput so we decided to
escape. Our plan was to disguise
ourselves as Kurds-the wandering
tribes who are left alone by the
Turks
My mother, my two sisters, my
little brother and myself got away
Undecided and endeavored to make
our way to Baku. For many months
we were with the Kurds On the
roadside we saw hundreds of the mu-
tilated corpses of our countrymen
who had been cruelty put to death by
the Turks.
'fAt last we reached the Caspian
Sea and got to Baku where we were
safe among our OVID people At Baku
they were looking forward to the
coming of the British soldiers. Our
party crossed Russia to Murmansk
So long as we had money we were
abe to get sufficient food.
'iWihen we reached Murmansk the
British we're there ne people there
said the English soldiers were very
kind, they and the Firms there also
were delighted"
