TOKYO -- Japanese rescuers were searching Thursday, September 3, for a livestock ship with 42 crew members on board that a survivor said sank during rough weather a day earlier off a southern Japanese island, the coast guard said.
The man, who is in good health, told rescuers the ship capsized before sinking, said spokesman Yuichiro Higashi at the Japanese coast guard's regional headquarters conducting the search. The cause of the distress was not immediately known, but the weather was rough in the area due to Typhoon Maysak.
