• RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, Calif. (AP) -- One of two hikers missing for three days in Southern California's Cleveland National Forest was found alive Wednesday night, but his companion remained missing, a sheriff's spokesman said.
• Another hiker found 19-year-old Nicholas Cendoya at about 8 p.m., then told a crew of firefighters where to find him, Orange County sheriff's Lt. Jason Park said.
• Cendoya was found severely dehydrated and was talking to paramedics but struggled to answer questions about what had happened and where the second hiker, 18-year-old Kyndall Jack, might be.
• "He was extremely confused and disoriented," Park said.
• Cendoya was flown to a hospital 20 miles away in Mission Viejo. Television footage showed him walking with help from paramedics.

• MOBILE, Ala. (AP) -- The crippled cruise ship whose sewage-filled breakdown in the Gulf of Mexico subjected thousands to horrendous conditions tore loose Wednesday from the dock where it's being repaired, lumbered downriver and crunched into a cargo ship.
• Wind gusts near hurricane strength shoved the 900-foot Carnival Triumph free from its mooring in downtown Mobile, Ala., where the ship was brought in a five-day ordeal that began when an engine fire stranded it off of Mexico in February. Hours later, four tug boats used several mooring lines to secure the ship to the cruise terminal.
• A 20-foot gash about 2 to 3 feet wide was visible about halfway up the hull from the water and it wrapped partway around the stern. Underneath the gashed area, two levels of railing were dangling and broken. Electric cables that had been plugged in on shore were dangling from the port -- or left -- side of the ship. Carnival said damage, though, was limited.
