JAKARTA, Indonesia — Rescuers plucked a woman from choppy waters Monday, about 25 hours after she jumped from a crowded ferry that sank in a storm off Indonesia’s Sumatra island. At least 29 people drowned, and 20 others were missing.

A total of 255 survivors have been pulled from the sea since Sunday, when the Dumai Express 10 was hit by towering waves and sank about 90 minutes into an inter-island trip from Batam to Dumai in Riau, a province off Sumatra island in western Indonesia.

A second ferry ran aground nearby, but all its passengers were said to be safe.
