Two Chinese sailors have been rescued more than 50 hours after their sand dredger capsized off Malaysia's southern coast, a maritime official said Saturday. Sanifah said rescuers also discovered a body floating near the vessel and two more, including a woman inside the ship, on Saturday. He said this brought the death toll to four and left nine others, including a Malaysian and an Indonesian, unaccounted for. Sanifah said a team of Chinese divers had joined the search operation and that rescue efforts had been intensified. He said the submerged vessel was moved closer to shore and stabilized to prevent it from sinking.
