...that soon there was not enough of either to go around. The British aircraft carrier Centaur picked up 55 bodies, then dispatched a helicopter to the Lakonia to see if anyone was still on board; from the vessel, a British officer reported that the liner was a burnt-out hulk. As the rescue ships sped from the scene toward the port of Funchal in Madeira, the ruined liner was taken into tow by the Norwegian salvage tug Herkules...

But previously inaccessible Mount San Jacinto is soon to be a resort area itself. The world's largest passenger-carrying tramway will lift vacationers from oven-like Chino Canyon to a winter-temperature summer resort some 5,900 ft. above-from the California desert to the California Alps in 15 minutes...
