Three more bodies were recovered Thursday after a ferry sank off Indonesia's Sulawesi island at the weekend, bringing the confirmed death toll to 26, with over 50 still missing, an official said, according to dpa. "We received a report this morning from officials in North Kolaka district that local fishermen found three bodies near the waters of Lawata village in Southeast Sulawesi," Alamsyah, a local disaster management official said. At least 51 people were still listed as missing after the Marina Baru ferry sank about 22 kilometres from its destination port in Siwa on Saturday, he said. Wednesday's operation resulted in 13 bodies being found in the waters of North Luwu and East Luwu districts in South Sulawesi province, which is about 200 kilometers from where the fiberglass ship capsized, Alamsyah said.
