MANILA, Philippines — Passengers leapt into the dark sea and parents dropped children into life rafts from a stricken ferry carrying nearly 1,000 people after it capsized in the middle of the night in the southern Philippines. Nine people died and more than 30 were missing Sunday, though rescue efforts saved about 900 terrified victims on the Superferry 9 after it turned on its side 9 miles off Zamboanga del Norte province. The cause of the capsize was not clear.
