short of manpower and set back of poor logistics, etc. So they wearied from
work and wanted to go back to the United States. They decided not to extend
contracts with Chinese government after expiration and left Formosa at
the beginning of November 1878. This announced the temporary end and
abandonment of the first machine-drilled oil well at Chhut-hong-khinn (in
Gongguan Town, Miaoli County).
Although Robert Locke was an uneducated person from American oil
town in Pennsylvania, yet his habit of keeping a diary reserved a 15 monthlong precious record for Taiwan. On the contrary, there are only few documents
concerned left including 1 document in Li Wenzhinggong Antholog y , 4
documents in Historical Data of Taiwan Foreign Affairs in Qing Dynasty , and
correspondences of Shen Baozhen and of Li Hongzhang. Besides these, there is
no other Chinese record on Taiwan oil drilling found so far. The fact highlights
the importance of Locke's Diary.
