After more than three days of search by the Navy and Coast Guard, 26 persons are still missing at sea. Hopes of finding any more survivors are slim, but the search will continue as the sea is known to throw up miraculous survivors even days after accidents, sources in the Navy said. Legally, those missing cannot be presumed dead till there is evidence to support it. Such a search at sea is normally not called off till a few weeks. Of the 261 persons on the ill-fated barge, 186 have been rescued and brought back to the shore in batches. All those who have been rescued had jumped off the barge as it sank. All were wearing self-illuminating life jackets with a special prop to keep a person’s head above water.
