13 Cubans make it to Florida

 


 MIAMI.- The Coast Guard and the crew of a cargo ship rescued 13 Cuban migrants on the high seas after their boat capsized off Key West as Tropical Storm Elsa approached the area, according to authorities.

 The nine men and four women were brought aboard the Coast Guard vessel Thetis Tuesday afternoon, about 26 miles southeast of Key West, according to the Coast Guard Corps.

 The survivors told the crew of the Coast Guard boat that they had left in a small boat from Cuba, around 8 p.m. last Monday.

 They said seven men and two women were missing at sea, but authorities did not release further details.
