BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — British and Spanish maritime officials say a fishing boat carrying 27 people has sunk nearly 200 miles off the Falkland Islands, leaving at least six people dead and seven people missing. 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.
