Tokyo, April 23

Japan’s coast guard says a tour boat with 26 on aboard has been missing. The 19-tonne Kazu 1 made an emergency call early afternoon, saying the ship’s bow had flooded and was beginning to sink and tilt when it was travelling off the western coast of the Shiretoko peninsula in the northern island of Hokkaido.

The tour boat has since lost contact. The coast guard had dispatched five patrol boats and two aircraft and was still searching late on Saturday, an official said. — AP

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
