Indonesian rescuers widen search for missing after ferry sinks

Hundreds of Indonesian rescuers widened their search for dozens of missing people Friday after a ferry sank in rough seas on the way to the resort island of Bali, leaving at least six dead.

The ferry carrying at least 65 people, including passengers and crew, was making a five-kilometer crossing from eastern Java Island to Bali when it tilted and sank in bad weather late Wednesday, witnesses and officials said. As of Friday morning, 30 people were still missing after 29 were plucked from the water to safety. Rescue officials said one of the six found dead was a three-year-old boy.
