Sorry you are right. In addition to the 353 who died on Siev-x (Suspected Illegal Entry Vessel X) there were 44 additional passengers who were rescued by an Indonesian fishing boat after spending up to 20 hours in the water and one other who was rescued even later. In addition there were another 23 who had left the ship before the sinking,a few hours into the voyage.
