Search in Bering Sea Goes On for 3 Crewmen
The Bering Sea had calmed slightly as the Coast Guard resumed its search for three people missing from a crab boat that sank in stormy weather. A man lost overboard from another boat was presumed dead and the search for him was suspended.
Three crew members of the 92-foot Big Valley were found by the Coast Guard after the boat sank -- all wearing bulky survival suits -- but only one was alive. Three other crewmen remain missing.
The survivor, found in a life raft, was treated at a hospital and released, Coast Guard Lt. Charter Tschirgi said in Anchorage.
