We learn from the passage that when a ship sinks

  1. it often creates a small-scale environmental disaster

  2. there are usually no signs of it until several years later

  3. the passengers are sometimes not rescued for several years

  4. there is generally some evidence about what happened to it

  5. most of its contents float on the sea for many years

  1. The Waratah and the Cyclops are interesting in that

  1. despite being from different countries, they caused each other to disappear

  2. nobody knows anything about what happened to them, though they were big ships

  3. though the Waratah was a passenger ship, the Cyclops, which wasn't, lost more people

  4. the people who know what happened to them are unwilling to tell anyone

  5. they both disappeared at exactly the same place, though on different dates

  1. Since what happened to the Cyclops is unknown

  1. we must assume that it was sunk by an enemy vessel during the war

  2. it's quite obvious that the crew weren't wearing their life jackets

  3. the investigation into its disappearance has never been formally ended

  4. it would be wrong to assume that the 211 men on board are dead

  5. the best explanation would be that it was a poorly-designed ship



104 MIGUEL GIL MORENO (1968-2000)
Even the most war-hardened journalists must have felt a cold shiver of shock on the day that Miguel Gil Moreno was shot dead by rebels from Sierra Leone.
Miguel was killed close to where he had recently shot his last pictures, which were images of a massacre of UN troops. The death of Miguel, who was just 32 years old, deprived television news of the cameraman who shot some of the most compelling and powerful images of war. Miguel did not start out as a photographer or journalist, but as a lawyer. After graduating from Barcelona Central University Law School, he practised law at a city firm before studying Human Rights at the Centre for Human Rights in Barcelona. Miguel believed wholeheartedly in the right and obligation to bear witness and to report. He soon gained himself a reputation for unequalled brilliance in photographing human suffering during conflicts. He worked in dangerous places such as Kosovo, the Congo and Sierra Leone. In 1998, he won the Rory Peck Award for his Kosovo coverage. How many people will be brave enough, like him, to go where the perpetrators of war would rather no one went? How many will carry on the work of bringing the ugly and brutal truth into our comfortable lives?
