JAPANESE CREWS
Heavy Death Toll (N.Z.P.A.-Reuter—Copyright) TOKYO, October 11. A mammoth Japanese and United States sea - air search in the South Pacific for more than 200 missing Japanese fishermen has discovered another body and debris from seven fishing boats. The fishing fleet was swamped by typhoon Carmen last week. A total of 251 men were aboard the boats, three of which were confirmed sunk when 42 crew were rescued and another found dead last week. The Japanese Maritime Safety Agency said today it could not confirm if the body found yesterday off Agrihan Island was from one of the missing vessels, but if it was the toll of missing crew would be 207.
