Death Toll of Indonesia's Sunken Boat Rises to 14

Another four bodies have been retrieved, bringing the death toll of a sunken boat off Indonesia's western coast to 14, a navy spokesman said on Monday. 
Ten people died, five were missing and two were rescued after the small wooden boat with 17 people on board sank in rough seas on Sunday. Bad weather was blamed for the disaster, spokesman Admiral Adi Sucipto said. 
Search and rescue operation were underway on Monday, involving those from local search and rescue office and volunteers, Sucipto said. 
The ill-fated vessel was only a small craft equipped with an outboard motor, he said.

The Indonesian archipelago of more than 17,000 islands is heavily dependent on boat transport, but fatal accidents are common.
