Spanish authorities said Tuesday that 14 people made it onto a life raft and were rescued by two other fishing boats that were nearby when the 176-foot vessel Argos Georgia sank in the South Atlantic. Authorities in the Falkland Islands say they received an emergency signal Monday from the Argos Georgia.
