JAKARTA  : The Indonesian archipelago of more than 17,000 islands is heavily dependent on ferry services but fatal accidents are common. Search and rescue agency chief Bambang Soelistyo said as of Friday morning 103 passengers aboard the ill-fated boat had been recovered, with just 40



found alive. If the information is correct, we are still searching for 15 other missing people," Soelistyo told adding that all the bodies found so far were within the search area.  The ferry operator said the boat was carrying 116 people when it ran into trouble, but Soelistyo said there were two canteen staff who were not mentioned on the manifest. The ferry sank on rough seas last Saturday with survivors describing massive waves smashing into the vessel before the engine died and the order was made to abandon ship
