I took a fast boat from Tatan to Fuhsing Islet, where I had lunch with the officers and men to judge the quality of food served to the armed forces at the front. I also tasted the canned fruit and approved of it. The setting was beautiful and natural. The wide sea below was spotted with fishing boats, and the experience was exhilarating. The friendship and sincerity of the armed forces impressed me. I continued inspection of various facilities in the afternoon and became more firmly convinced of the truth of the maxim that "The diligence of man is certain to break down natural barriers." As night fell, I returned to Kinmen.
