Briton Returns 'Dragon Tooth'
Seventy-year-old Briton James returns a "dragon tooth" to the Qingdao Aquarium in east China's Shandong Province Nov. 11, 2002. After a returning ceremony, James was offered a fish specimen.

In 1937, when five-year-old James saw the "dragon tooth" in the aquarium, he took a fancy to it and was determined to get it. The day before he left Qindao for Britain with his father, James returned to the aquarium and took the "dragon tooth".

For 65 years, he has kept the treasure carefully in a wood matchbox. But he has also been tormented by his wrongdoing.

In August 2002, he wrote to the Qingdao Daily, expressing readiness to return the "dragon tooth" to the Qingdao Aquarium later in the year.
