, external<\/span><\/a> that it is not yet known what caused the ship to sink. <\/p>\n“We have no idea at this time,” he said.<\/p>\n
The identities of those who remain missing were not yet shared. <\/p>\n
Clarke told the Vancouver Sun newspaper that there was initially a language barrier with the survivors, which was compounded by hypothermia, but they were able to tell rescuers there were 10 people on board when the vessel sank. <\/p>\n
A couple on a sailboat are being credited with saving lives by alerting authorities to the emergency. <\/p>\n
Brian Angus and Dorothy Stauffer, who rescued three people from the water, told CBC they saw no wreckage or debris at the scene, and that none of the people in the water were wearing life jackets. <\/p>\n
Asked how they were feeling more than 24 hours after the rescue, Stauffer told CBC: “I didn’t sleep a lot, and I thought a lot about it throughout the night – replayed it in my mind quite often.”<\/p>\n
She said her training as a flight attendant helped her during the rescue, adding that she was grateful they found the people in the water when they did. <\/p>\n
“I am so happy that we were there at the right time,” Angus said.<\/p>\n
Still, the couple said they were devastated that they couldn’t rescue more people.<\/p>\n
Officials have not yet identified the name of the boat that sank, but have described it as “a commercial charter vessel”.<\/p>\n
In the update on Monday, the RCMP said that an underwater recovery team “will attend the area in the coming days to locate the capsized vessel using sonar”.<\/p>\n
The team will then decide whether it is possible to dive to the sunken ship, or whether a drone will be used to access it.<\/p>\n
“The vessel is believed to have sunk in very deep waters,” the RCMP statement said.<\/p>\n
Of the survivors, a 26-year-old man and a 33-year old woman have been discharged from hospital. <\/p>\n
Two others – a 33-year-old man and a 28-year-old woman – remain in hospital in a critical condition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
