ANCHORAGE, Alaska — An e-mail sent by a doomed fishing boat to a nearby vessel said it was taking on water in the rear, where the steering was housed, the Coast Guard said Thursday as it searched for two crew members whose fates remained unknown.

It's still not clear what happened aboard the Katmai, which sank early Wednesday in the icy waters off Alaska's Aleutian Islands with a crew of 11 aboard. Four men survived in a life raft, and the bodies of five have been recovered.

"What can you say?" said Jeff DeBell, chief financial officer of Katmai Fisheries, which owned the boat. "We are devastated by what has happened. We are elated there have been survivors. We are just terribly saddened by the ones that are dead and are praying that those that are still in the water are alive."

The Seattle-based company identified the survivors as Capt. Henry Blake and crew members Guy Schroeder, Adam Foster and Harold Appling.

All the crew members were able to get into survival suits, according to members of another fishing vessel in the area that received the e-mail, said Coast Guard Petty Officer Levi Read.

There is more to read in the story. I just didn't feel like posting the whole thing.

It would of seemed more Logical to do a Mayday, not a email.

Are you guys trolling or something? Its obvious that was a last resort. This post has been edited by Elly on Oct 24 2008, 07:05 PM -------------------- Hey
