British authorities say a search in the North Sea for two missing fishermen has ended with the discovery of their bodies. A coastguard helicopter spotted the bodies yesterday near the wreckage of the men's boat, which sank Saturday about 40 kilometers northeast of Great Yarmouth, on England's eastern coast.


Three other fishermen from the same boat floated in a life raft for four hours and were rescued late Saturday after being spotted by the crew of the Pacific Princess cruise ship, which was cruising around the British Isles.
