A ship with 65 boat people on board capsized on Sunday, and the Navy says they have not been able to rescue more than 40 people. Of the 65 on board, 25 people were rescued near Saona Island along the East Coast of the Dominican Republic. Rescuers said 12 corpses, including 11 women, were recovered from the turbulent Caribbean Sea on Sunday.
