ROME, Jan 5 (Hina) - The bodies of three members of the crew of Croatian ship "Nautika 74" which turned over early Friday morning about 30 miles from the Italian port of Ancona, have been found, while rescue crews are still searching
for the body of the forth member of the crew, Ancona harbour officials reported. The Croatian ship, with a total of five members of the crew, was transporting 150 tonnes of marble from the southern Croatian port of Split to Ancona. It is assumed that the ship turned over due to the movement of the load. One member of the ship's crew, most probably the captain, saved himself by swimming toward an oil platform from where he called for help. According to Ancona harbour officials, Ancona coast guards, three merchant ships, three helicopters and an airplane are searching for the forth member of the crew. A US Navy ship is expected to join the search.(hina) it
