Coffee, informally … or a big coffee-producing island – J 5A. Figure skating jump – A 6A. Wide-ranging music playlists – M 8A. On deck – N 9A. Down Under welcome – G Down 1D. Print issue? – J 2D.

Wilbur's home in "Charlotte's Web" – STY Today's Mini This one ended up going quite well. 1-Across wasn't obvious without the 'also an island' bit but that made JAVA pretty clear and then JAM for 2-Down came naturally enough. I couldn't remember AXEL but I knew it was something like that and initially plugged in AXIS, which worked for 2-Down but not 3-Down (VEXED) but a quick adjustment and I was back up and running. This one took me 58 seconds. How did you do? Let me know on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook. If you also play Wordle, I write guides about that as well. You can find those and all my TV guides, reviews and much more here on my blog. Thanks for reading!

Indonesian rescuers widen search for missing after ferry sinks
Gilimanuk, Indonesia: Hundreds of Indonesian rescuers widened their search for dozens of missing people Friday after a ferry sank in rough seas on the way to the resort island of Bali, with six bodies recovered. The ferry carrying at least 65 people, including passengers and crew, was making a five-kilometer (3.2-mile) crossing from eastern Java island to Bali when it tilted and sank in bad weather late Wednesday, witnesses and officials said. As of Friday morning, 30 people were still missing after 29 were plucked from the water to safety. Rescuers said one of the six found dead was a three-year-old boy. Tearful survivors described their horror when the ship went down, including one man who lost his wife. 'I was joking around with my wife. And then... the ferry tilted. The accident was very fast,' Febriani, who like many Indonesians has one name, told AFP late Thursday. 'I resigned my fate... and asked God to save my wife. It turned out... my wife died but I survived,' said the 27-year-old, welling up with tears. 'I jumped with my wife. I managed to get back up but my wife slipped away.' Rescuers carried out searches by sea and air on Friday, expanding their efforts along the coastlines of eastern Java and Bali, national search and rescue agency operations official Ribut Eko Suyatno told reporters. 'The land search rescue unit... we ask to comb through the Ketapang beach from north to south. Also likewise for Gilimanuk,' he said. But as of Friday afternoon, no further victims had been found. 'From the communication that we received, it's still zero (victims found) from the search,' Yudi, a captain of one of the deployed rescue vessels, told broadcaster Metro TV. The ferry passage from Java's Ketapang port to Gilimanuk port on Bali — one of the busiest crossings in the country — takes around one hour and is often used by people traveling between the islands with a car. Local rescue officials said the KMP Tunu Pratama Jaya vessel sank 25 minutes into its journey. At least 306 rescuers were deployed Friday for the search effort, the Java-based Surabaya search and rescue agency said. The search was temporarily halted overnight and resumed around 8:00 am (0000 GMT) Friday in Bali. Rescuers had deployed inflatable boats, larger rescue vessels and a helicopter to aid the search on Thursday, made up of dozens of personnel, including navy and police officers. At least four survivors were found early on Thursday after saving themselves by climbing into the ferry's lifeboat. Initial search efforts were hampered by bad weather, with waves as high as 2.5 meters (8 feet) and strong winds. The ferry's manifest showed 53 passengers and 12 crew members but it is common in Indonesia for the actual number of passengers on a boat to differ from that document. Marine accidents are a regular occurrence in Indonesia, a Southeast Asian archipelago nation of around 17,000 islands, in part due to lax safety standards and sometimes due to bad weather. In March, a boat carrying 16 people capsized in rough waters off Bali, killing an Australian woman and injuring at least one other person. In 2018, more than 150 people drowned when a ferry sank in one of the world's deepest lakes on Sumatra island.

Search resumes for 30 missing as ferry to Bali capsizes in bad weather killing six including child
JAKARTA, July 4 — At least six people were dead and dozens unaccounted for yesterday after a ferry sank in rough seas on its way to the Indonesian resort island Bali, according to rescue authorities who said 29 survivors had been plucked from the water so far. Rescuers were racing to find 30 people still missing at sea after the vessel carrying 65 passengers and crew sank before midnight on Wednesday, as it sailed to the popular holiday destination from Indonesia's main island Java. 'The ferry tilted and immediately sank,' survivor Eka Toniansyah told reporters at a Bali hospital. 'Most of the passengers were from Indonesia. I was with my father. My father is dead.' Rescue officials said a sixth victim—a three-year-old boy—was found dead on Thursday evening. 'All search and rescue equipment were utilised... resulting in the discovery of 29 survivors, and six (victims) who were dead,' national search and rescue agency operations official Ribut Eko Suyatno told reporters. Nanang Sigit, the head of the Java-based Surabaya search and rescue agency, had earlier given a death toll of five with 29 missing at sea. President Prabowo Subianto, who was on a trip to Saudi Arabia, ordered an immediate emergency response, cabinet secretary Teddy Indra Wijaya said, adding the cause of the accident was 'bad weather'. The search for the remaining missing victims will be suspended Thursday evening and will resume Friday, a Surabaya search and rescue officer told AFP. Nanang said efforts to reach the doomed vessel were initially hampered by adverse weather conditions. Waves as high as 2.5 metres (8 feet) with 'strong winds and strong currents' had affected the rescue operation, he said, adding conditions have since improved. A rescue team of at least 54 personnel was dispatched along with inflatable rescue boats, he said, while a bigger vessel was later sent from Surabaya city. Indonesia's national search and rescue agency chief Mohammad Syafii told a news conference that the agency sent a helicopter to help the effort.

'For today's search, we are still focusing on search above the water where initial victims were found,' the Surabaya search and rescue chief said. The ferry's manifest showed 53 passengers and 12 crew members, he said, but rescuers were still assessing if there were more people on board. It is common in Indonesia for the actual number of passengers on a boat to differ from the manifest. It was unclear if any foreigners were on board. The ferry crossing from Ketapang port in Java to Bali's Gilimanuk port is one of the busiest in the country and takes around one hour. It is often used by people crossing between the islands by car. Four of the known survivors saved themselves by using the ferry's lifeboat and were found in the water early Thursday, the Surabaya rescue agency said. It said the ferry was also transporting 22 vehicles, including 14 trucks.

In March, a boat carrying 16 people capsized in rough waters off Bali, killing an Australian woman and injuring at least one other person. A ferry carrying more than 800 people in 2022 ran aground in shallow waters off East Nusa Tenggara province, where it remained stuck for two days before being dislodged with no one hurt. And in 2018, more than 150 people drowned when a ferry sank in one of the world's deepest lakes on Sumatra island. — AFP
