Mystery of the East in a Lodging House Tale

The Chronometer and the Chinese Picture Mystery

A narrative recalls John Harrison and his chronometer revolutionizing navigation and longitude. It shifts to a surreal tale of Milligan in Peking, whose obsessed study of a Chinese drawing leads to a chilling belief that he is living inside the artwork with a moving figure, as the portrait appears to claim him.
