If oHs1UNc We were all fortunate enough, during on-e inport period, to land liberty in the port of Keelung, which is the starting point for a trip to Taipei, Taiwan's capital and largest city. Taipei is a mere hour away from Keelung by bus, a trip well worth taking, as many of the crew would attest. Taipei's attractions included not only many fine night clubs and restaurants but also excellent American entertainment, including singing star Patti Page. The weather during both tours on Taiwan patrol was good, The Renshaw Hornets, our softball team, enjoyed them- selves immensely out at the Navy's regulation field at Tsoying, having cold beer between innings and razzing the umpire. Then there were the ship's parties, where we rode water buffalo in the rain. NY5f:i:'5...,.t' T J -ii FAMILIAR SIGHT to all Renshaw sailors was Fleet Street. SIDE STREET in Kaohsiung is nearly deserted in afternoon. Evening fills the dusty road with throngs of Chinese shoppers. BUDDHIST TEMPLE draws a sailor into making a closer inspection. Temples have no lights, only candles lit by monks.
