Ship sinks off island during storm, 9 sailors missing

TAIPEI — Typhoon Gaemi swept toward southern China on Thursday after killing at least two people in Taiwan, with nine sailors missing after their cargo ship sank in stormy weather.

The typhoon — the strongest to hit Taiwan in eight years — had already forced authorities on the island to close schools and offices, suspend the stock market, and evacuate thousands of people.
