Rescuers pulled more than 130 people from the waters between Australia and Indonesia on Wednesday after a ship capsized, the Australian authorities said. Merchant and naval vessels carried out the rescue effort about 107 nautical miles north of an Island, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority was quoted as saying by CNN. By 3:50 p.m. (1:50 a.m. ET), 136 people had been rescued from about 150 believed to have been on board the ship when it turned over, said Jo Meehan, a spokeswoman for the authority. One person was reported dead, she said.
