These villagers of Asia Minor were driven into the mountains near their homes shortly after the Smyrna debacle. For three and a half months they lived on grass, roots, and similar food, occasionally raiding an olive grove by night … Finally two bold members stole a small boat and escaped … The whole party is now being fed and clothed by the ARC. Ikons and other possessions commonly brought … are shown in the picture.
