Text 4. В Балтийском море столкнулись два судна, есть жертвы
Give a free translation of the story.
Три человека погибли в результате столкновения двух судов в Балтийском море. Инцидент произошел в субботу в первой половине дня у восточного берега шведского острова Готланд.
Спасательная служба Швеции сообщила, что столкновение произошло между кипрским судном и судном из Антигуа. В общей сложности на обоих судах находилось 16 человек.
После столкновения изолированными (trapped) оказались три человека на кипрском судне. Первые попытки извлечь их из перекрытого (blocked) отсека (compartment) не увенчались успехом. Позже, когда пострадавшее судно было отбуксировано к берегу, спасатели сообщили, что все трое моряков были найдены в отсеке мертвыми.
Причина аварии пока не установлена. Национальности членов экипажа и погибших пока также не сообщаются.

I. Read the text and give answers to the questions below.
What happened with the ferry?
Why did it overturn?
How many people were able to survive?
May 4, 2002
Fifty people were missing today after a ferry sank in Bangladesh.
The boat, which had 150 people on board, ran into trouble while sailing in the south of the country.
About 100 of the passengers managed to swim to shore.
But this morning a search was launched for the remaining 50.
Officials said rescuers rushed to the scene and started looking for passengers in the water. "The mishap occurred when the overloaded boat capsized on the Kirtankhola River in fine weather", said a police officer at Barisal town, 190 miles from the capital, Dhaka.
He said the single-decker ferry listed to one side and sank immediately. The people on the roof were able to swim to safety. But there were concerns over the fate1 of about 50 others on deck.
Ferry accidents are relatively common in Bangladesh, with hundreds dying every year.
