A fishing boat registered in Wanli township, Taipei County, burst into flames Monday off the outlying Matsu Islands, killing three people on board and leaving five missing, a national search and rescue team reported Tuesday. As of 4: 00 p.m. Tuesday, three bodies had been found in waters off the island group's Dongyin Islet, said the national search and rescue center under the Executive Yuan. It was confirmed that one of the bodies was that of Lin Chung-shing, skipper of the 165-ton fishing boat 'Chang Shun Fa.' Meanwhile, five of the eight crew members -- three Taiwanese, four Chinese and one Indonesian -- remained missing. Hsu Shun-fa, chief delegate of the Wanli Fishermen's Association, said he received a phone call for help from the 'Chang Shun Fa' around 5: 00 p.m. Monday and immediately reported the matter to the coastguard authorities in the Matsu Islands. The Matsu coastguard sent two rescue vessels to the site of the boat fire, some 20 nautical miles northeast of the Dongyin Islet, Hsu said.
