I have a pen and ink drawing by your grandfather of "Chunking City from Lung Men Hao." He gave it to my grandfather in 1927 and it is inscribed "To the Transport Officer with Fondest Memories, Ivon A. Donnelly." My grandfather, George McLorn, was with the Chinese Maritime Customs and stationed in various ports in China. The drawing (about 12 by 15 inches) has been hanging in my living room for many years.
