    The appeal fails because the appellant did not arrive by the permit-specified vessel, landed deliberately at a beach and worked illegally away from the fish market, was not in possession of the permit when arrested and admitted illegal entry; these facts distinguish the case from 陳李普 and remove the basis for a reduced sentence, so the 15-month sentence is appropriate.
