wank

For the first few weeks in the Wank we had no further glimpse of the outside world.

It was not long after this that our sojourn in the Wank came to an end.

It was called the Wank (pronounced Wonk) and was an Armenian monastery, half farm, half stronghold.

Firewood became a problem, and, to feed the stove,85 we began to pull pieces off the more easily detachable parts of the Wank.

The whole fifteen of us, from the Wank and from the Agricultural College, were established here.
