17 Rescued From Cave - Guide's Body Found
Rescuers on Monday pulled out 17 cave enthusiasts who were trapped overnight in a Puerto Rican cavern when an underground river sealed off their exit and swept away one of their guides. The group was touring a cave in western Lares, about 50 miles west of San Juan, when heavy rains began at about 3 p.m., swelling a subterranean river. One of their guides, Francis Reyes, tried to cross the river with a member of the group but was dragged deeper into the cave by the current, police said. His body was found Monday.
