More than 120 people remain missing after a ship with over 350 on board sank off Papua New Guinea's north coast, officials said on Friday. Nearly 350 Papua New Guineans were on board the Rabaul Queen when it went down in the Solomon Sea on Thursday morning.

Australian rescuers saved 238 passengers, most of them students and trainee teachers, from drowning after the ferry sank. The search for the missing passengers -- mostly university students -- resumed at daylight.
