A vessel is headed out into the Bering Sea to retrieve a barge full of construction equipment. Sunday, the tug pulling the barge sank. The crew of the 68-foot tugboat Aries was able to make it to the barge, from which they were rescued by a Coast Guard helicopter and taken to Saint Paul. They say the barge is anchored. A second tug is on its way to it from Naknek.
