AP correspondent Julie Walker reports

Canada's national health agency confirms that one of four Canadians returning

from a cruise ship with a hantavirus outbreak has tested positive.

The Public Health Agency of Canada announced the positive test Sunday,

following initial reports from the public health officer for the province of

British Columbia.

The individual, part of a couple in their 70s from the Yukon, is hospitalized

in Victoria.

The other three travelers are also in isolation.

The outbreak on the cruise ship MV Hondius has resulted in three deaths and

10 confirmed cases.

The agency states the risk to the general Canadian population remains (保持)

low and is working with the World Health Organization on the investigation.

Researchers in Dublin have uncovered the oldest surviving English poem in a

Roman library.

The poem, "Caedmon’s Hymn," was composed in Old English by a Northumbrian

worker in the seventh century.

It appears within the Latin text "Ecclesiastical (教會的) History of the

English People" by the monk known as the Venerable Bede.

The discovery highlights the diffusion of the English language centuries

earlier than previously believed.

The manuscript had a complex history, traveling across Europe and the

Atlantic before being found in Rome's public library.

The library's digitization (數位化) efforts may lead to more discoveries.
