Family members of victims of the ferry accident wait outside a Rembang district hospital, Indonesia, to identify their relatives, Monday, Jan. 1, 2007.  Rescue ships were collecting scores of bloated corpses Monday from choppy waters close to where the Indonesian ferry sank in the Java Sea during a violent storm  minutes before midnight Friday, but search teams also spotted survivors on life rafts and dropped food and water to them, officials said. (AP Photo/Vincent Thian)REMBANG, Indonesia (AP) - Fishing boats rescued dozens of survivors from the sea Tuesday, four days after a ferry went down in a storm off Indonesia. But 400 other people remained missing.

Strong winds and poor visibility prevented aircraft from joining the search Tuesday, but ships patrolled the waters off the Java coast in the area where the ferry sank before midnight Friday.

About 200 survivors have been found, and officials say the search will continue until Sunday. Thirteen bodies have been recovered; scores of others have been seen floating at sea.
