Hours earlier, an unconsciou­s crew member was also recovered but later died.

The survivor, Jay- nel Rosals, a Filipino deckhand, was wearing a life jacket and floating in a raft, above, north of Amami Oshima island in the

East China Sea, where rescuers have been searching for the Gulf Livestock 1 ship, inset, and its crew since it sent a distress signal early Wednesday, as another, more powerful storm drew near.
