view took place two days before we left Basrah.
The girls were questioned one by one and each told
her story truthfully. One said her Bedouin mother
had told her she had been found by them under a
pile of brushwood in the desert. All four of them
had been taken away from their own people while
still very small and had become Bedouins, living
in tents in the desert in Summer and moving to the
river country in winter. Then the Nejdis had
come and carried them off to Kuweit. There they
were sold and married and carried off by Qutar
merchants. One or two knew the prices that had
been paid for them. When asked as to what they
desired they should be done for them now, they
answered, though not without hesitation, that they
wanted to go back to their people.
That same morning there were Busrah Christians
waiting on the Mission compound waiting to see
Major Berry about claiming Fatimah, the smallest
refugee. She had been recognized by her own
sister. The next down mail brought us the news
that all of them had been claimed. One is with the
family of one of our former colporteurs, and
another is with the family of the keeper of the
bookshop in Busrah. The last we heard of them
was that they had discarded their Arab clothes
