Davis said authorities believe they were on a speedboat heading for Miami.Up to 60 people may have been on board and more people were presumed missing, Police Commissioner Clayton Fernander said.

Immigration Minister Keith Bell said survivors indicated that they paid between $3 000 and $8 000 for the voyage.
