A life raft with four surviving crewmen from the missing tugboat BETTY has been located 53 miles north of Jamaica. One crewman remains missing. The Coast Guard began searching for the U.S. flagged BETTY after receiving an EPIRB signal indicating the tug was in possible trouble. The surviving crewmen were taken to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The Coast Guard called off the air search for the remaining crewman on Tuesday. The cause of the tugboat sinking is not known at this time and will be subject of further investigation by the Coast Guard.
