Eight people have died and rescuers are searching for a missing man, while 42 people have survived after a speedboat capsized off Indonesia's part of Borneo island.
The Anugrah Express boat was traveling from Tanjung Selor, the capital of North Kalimantan province, to Tarakan in the same province on Monday, authorities say.
In addition to the deaths, 42 people were found alive by rescuers Manangap Djumala, a search and rescue official in Tarakan, says.
The man still missing is a passenger.
Djumala says the boat's manifest listed 48 passengers and three crew members.
Five passengers are children, though he said infants are usually not listed in the manifest.
Police are investigating the cause of the capsizing.
Ships are a popular and relatively cheap way to travel in the world's largest archipelago nation, but poor safety enforcement means accidents are common.
