JAKARTA, May 30 — Thirty-one people have been rescued and 11 are still missing after a ferry ran out of fuel and sank in bad weather off the coast of Indonesia, an official said today.

“Until now 31 people have been rescued alive and we are still looking for 11 more people who are still missing,” head of local search and rescue team Djunaidi, who like some Indonesians goes by only one name, told AFP today.Rescuers have deployed a helicopter and extended the search area to 20 nautical miles from where the boat sank in the search for the missing, Djunaidi said.

No official passenger manifest was kept — common in a country where crews sometimes sell illegal tickets past the ships’ official capacity — but authorities have said they believe there were 42 people onboard when the boat sank.
