- fu ,W , N ON OUR RETURN TO TAIWAN MANY FRIENDS WERE WAITING AND MADE OUR WELCOME A HOMECOMING. EVERYONE COULD BE FOUND WANDERING THROUGHOUT THE CITY. THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF OUR SECOND VISIT WAS TO TRAIN THE NATIONALIST CHINESE DIVERS IN U.S. NAVY DIVING TECHNIQUES. THE CHINESE DIVERS WERE VERY PROFESS- IONAL IN THEIR WORK AND ALL RAN SMOOTHLY. ALTHOUGH OUR SECOND DAY WAS HAMPERED BY HEAVY RAIN AND FOG WE TRIED TO COM- PLETE THE DAY, BUT THE WEATHER WON OUT AND CURRENT WITH HER GUESTS RETURNED TO PORT. IT WAS A SAD DAY WHEN WE DEPARTED TSOYING BECAUSE MANY FRIENDS WERE LEFT BEHIND. BUT, A RICH EXPERIENCE WAS GAINED BY ALL IN TAIWAN. I Q. M . u 9 , M? I
