Rio de Janeiro - A total of 22 people have died after a second
ship sank in two days in Brazil.
Another 89 passengers of the ship that sank on Thursday could be
saved in the bay near the city of Salvador in the east of the
country.
A day earlier at least 21 people died after the ship they were on
sank in the Xingu River in northern Brazil.
The ship that went down on Thursday was on its way to Salvador from
Mar Grande about 20 kilometres across the bay from Salvador.
The cause of the accident is still unclear.
Another 35 people are still missing from Wednesday's shipwreck, which
involved a boat that wasn't approved for transporting passengers,
according to local authorities.
