None

Fishermen who rushed to the scene of a ferry sinking helped rescuers save 44 passengers, plucking them out of rough seas, an official said Saturday. Nearly two dozen people were missing a day after the ship went down, though no bodies have been found.

 

The Tersanjung was carrying 66 crew and passengers when it sank Friday about seven miles (10 kilometers) off the cape of Watumanuk on Flores island in East Nusatenggara province. (AP)
