Whatever the rumors, Mao did not appear at a New Year's meeting of high Communist officials, and he failed to show at a committee meeting on Jan. 21, on the anniversary of Lenin's death.

Starting next morning, the 14,000 sailed for a new life on Formosa. They seemed determined to return to the mainland and wipe out Mao Tse-tung. "With one heart," said one 24-year-old, "we return to Formosa. With one life, we shall eliminate the Communists...
