Synopsis
Excerpt from The Back Blocks of China: A Narrative of Experiences Among the Chinese, Sifans, Lolos, Tibetans, Shans and Kachins, Between Shanghai and the Irrawadi
The majority of the photographs were taken by Mr. R. Lockhart Jack. Unfortunately, his films had been exhausted before we commenced the flight to Burma, and I am indebted for photographs which supply the illustrations of some of the most interest ing portions of the journey to the Chairman of the Yiinnan Company (plates XIV. To XVI.) and Mr. J. Davidson, of the Friends' Mission, Chung King (plates VII VIII., ix.a, and X.a). For permission to reproduce Plate V. A, which has already appeared in the Graphic, I am indebted to the proprietors.
