At 1.35 we made the island of Ockseu, a capital landfall, and very satisfactory in every way ; for the sky was too much overcast to get an observation, and the currents hereabouts are strong and variable.

THE L.C.S. Lienshing arrived here on Thursday from Swatow. She reports moderate S.E, wind and heavy S.E. swell to Ockseu and had to anchor in the Haitan Straits on the 14th inst. on account of a typhoon, the barometer rating 29.28. The weather moderating, she proceeded with a strong north wind and heavy sea, and continuous rain. She sighted the steamers Shanghai and Glenesk and the German steamer Preussen anchored behind Matsu Island, and the troopship St. Andrew was anchored in the Haitan Straits.
The situation, however, is not unknown, for in Ockseu (China) lighthouse in December 1922, the principal keeper, a European, suddenly went insane and terrorized the whole establishment for several days before shooting dead his European assistant and himself. The two subordinate Chinese keepers kept the light going for twelve days before relief came.

In this type of scenario, the PLA could use overwhelming force or special forces to take over the closest islands groups such as the Matsu, Wuqiu/Ockseu, and Kinmen/Quemoy Islands (all within 30 miles of the PRC shores and would represent less than 1 percent of Taiwan’s total territory) in a short period of time (possibly a day to several days) and pause to review global reaction.
