A South Korean cargo ship hauling iron ore with a crew of 24 is missing in the South Atlantic off the coast of South America.
Two sailors were rescued from a life raft on Saturday, a day after the Stella Daisy sent out a distress call about 1,500 miles off shore from Uruguay, according to South Korea's Yonhap news agency.

The ship texted its parent company Polaris Shipping on Friday that it was sinking, Yonhap reported.
The 266,000-ton Stella Daisy was headed to China from Brazil when the ship apparently sank. It was carrying a crew of eight South Koreans and 16 Filipino sailors.
The search for more survivors continues. There is no word, yet, on why the ship went down.
