Indonesia Looks for 140 People
A ship is lost in the sea in Indonesia. It has more than 240 people on it. The ship left on Saturday. There was bad weather on Sunday. Now teams look for about 140 people.
Other ships helped 103 people. But one person died. Indonesia has many islands. Many people travel by boat there. Boats are cheap, but they are not always safe.
Teams use boats and a helicopter. They look for the ship now. They watch the weather too. The search is not over.
