Liner bodies found
NZPA-Reuter Moscow Some 257 bodies have been recovered since the Soviet liner the Admiral Nakhimov sank last week and 141 people are still missing, a Government communique says. The statement, carried by the Soviet news agency, Tass, said 10 of the 836 survivors remained in hospital. Although the missing had almost certainly drowned they would not be added to the death toll until their remains were found.
Divers were continuing to search the wreck of the 17,053-ton liner, which went down off the port of Novorossiisk after it and the Soviet freighter the Pyotr Vasev collided on September 1.
