The Jakarta Post, Parapat | Fri, 01/02/2009 10:25 AM

A group of six fishermen have rescued 10 local tourists being dragged by high sea wave during their holiday visit to Toba Lake of Samosir island in North Sumatra on Thursday afternoon, state news agency Antara has reported.

The tourists who come from Medan took two boats which would bring them to enjoy the lake beauty. The drivers could not control their boats when strong wind and wave struck the boats heading to the island from Garoga beach.

Garoga beach's organizer then called the fishermen to help rescuing the tourists, while other visitors looked anxious in watching the rescue process.

One of the victims, Irianto said on Friday, he was blaming the organizer for not preparing rescue teams in case of drowning or dragged by sea wave.(ewd)
