South Korea's coast guard said it rescued all 163 people from a ferry that hit a large rock in waters off the country's southwestern coast on Sunday. A coast guard official said the ferry's 158 passengers and five crew members were being taken to shore on four coast guard vessels and a number of civilian fishing boats. The coast guard initially said the ferry was carrying 187 passengers, but later revised the number to 158. The official said it appeared the ferry hit the rock while trying to avoid a fishing boat while traveling in foggy waters. Another coast guard official, from the nearby port of Mokpo, said his department planned to question the ferry's captain and crew members to investigate the cause of the crash.
