Four dead, dozens missing after ferry sinks off Bali

# At least four people have died and dozens are missing after a ferry sank off Indonesia’s tourist island of Bali. The National Search and Rescue Agency says the boat was carrying 53 passengers and 12 crew members when it sank on its way to Bali from the eastern coast of the island of Java. Twenty-nine survivors have been rescued so far. The vessel reportedly developed engine trouble shortly before it sank. Marine accidents are frequent in Indonesia, where uneven enforcement of safety regulations is a longstanding concern.
