CEBU, Philippines, June 23 – Rescuers held little hope on Monday of finding some 800 people missing from a capsized ferry in the Philippines, as divers prepared to drill into the ship’s hull in the hope of finding survivors in air pockets.

Coast guard boats searched the area around the ferry, which capsized during a typhoon with gusts up of to 195 kph (120 mph) on Saturday afternoon. By Monday only 33 people had been found alive.
