A rescued crew member of a Panamanian-flagged cargo ship said their British captain died when the ship capsized in a storm off the northern Lebanon coast on Thursday, a Lebanese security official said Friday. A major international rescue launched Thursday has so far pulled 25 among more than 80 people who were on board from the rough Mediterranean waters. UN, Syrian and Lebanese navy rescue boats continued the search in the early hours of Friday. A British military spokesman in Cyprus said an RAF helicopter was also sent to the scene to help. The Panamanian-flagged ship Danny F II, transporting livestock from Uruguay to the Syrian port of Tartous, overturned some 11 nautical miles off the Lebanese port of Tripoli after sending a distress signal at around 3:55 pm (1355 GMT), a Lebanese army spokesman said. The ship's operator, Agencia Schandy, told selfnews in Montevideo that the Danny F II had a crew of 76 and six passengers -- four Uruguayans, one Brazilian and an Australian.
