...A.C.L.U.'s count, Seattle authorities can cite about 30 statutes when arresting someone for interfering with a pedestrian. Mayor Royer argues that the new law is much easier to enforce than previous ordinances.

While more than 1,600 people, including eleven crewmen from the Victor, were presumed dead in last week's accident, the actual count was almost certainly higher. The names of as many as 1,000 children may not have been included on the ferry's manifest. Passengers who purchased tickets after boarding also may not have been listed in the roster.
