Survivors of Indonesia boat sinking found on island, floating at sea

Two survivors from a passenger boat that sank off eastern Indonesia were found on an uninhabited island on Sunday, a rescue official confirmed, a day after five others were rescued floating in the sea.



The vessel, which was carrying more than 70 people, sank on Wednesday as it sailed near Selayar, a small island south of the larger Sulawesi.



On Sunday, rescuers found a man and a woman who had made it to a tiny island by clinging to a makeshift flotation device.



The duo said four others who had been with them had not made it.



Five other survivors, including a seven-year-old girl, were rescued on Saturday after floating at sea for three days.
