MAKASSAR, Indonesia (AP) — Ten more survivors of an Indonesian boat that sank three days ago in bad weather have been rescued by local fishermen, leaving 11 people still missing. A rescue official says the captain and other crew of the cargo vessel, which was carrying 42 people, are among those rescued. The cause of the sinking is still being investigated. Ferry tragedies are common in Indonesia, an archipelago of more than 17,000 islands, where ferries are often used for transport and safety regulations are often disregarded.
