Actually, if I remember the story (article-be-damned! Why read something I don't have to?), they returned with one less passenger than the left with. It is confusing wordage (which is why it was appropriately posted in this thread) but it should read "Ship returns without woman who went missing" or something along those lines.
You are aware that I was kidding, in that paragraph, right?
