Ferry Toll at 20; Search Called Off
From Times Wire Reports
The search for nine people still missing after a ferry sank in icy waters off Norway’s west coast was called off nearly 24 hours after the disaster, as the death toll stood at 20. Rescuers launched a massive operation Friday when the catamaran Sleipner, with 89 people aboard, sank after hitting a rock in rough seas. Sixty-nine people were rescued. The wreck of the ferry has not been found. Police said the bodies of some of the missing might be inside.
