 The confirmed death toll from the South Korean ferry that capsized last week has reached 113, as divers recovered more bodies from the sunken hull. 
 
 Rescuers searching for bodies have been able to take advantage of better weather on Tuesday, officials say, with more than 190 passengers still missing or presumed trapped inside the vessel. 
 
 The ferry tipped over and sank within two hours, but it is not yet clear why. 
 
 The crew have been criticised for allegedly failing to save passengers. 
 
 Five have been charged with not fulfilling their duty to evacuate passengers safely, officials told the South Korean Yonhap news agency. 
 
 At least six other crew members are reported to have been detained. 
 
 As the ship listed passengers were told to remain in rooms and cabins, reports suggest, amid confusion on the bridge over whether to order them to abandon ship. 
 
 The first distress call from the sinking ferry was made by a boy with a shaking voice, officials told Reuters. 
 
 It reported that his plea for help was followed by about 20 other emergency calls from children on board the ship.

 A crew member quoted by local media said that attempts to launch lifeboats were unsuccessful because of the tilt of the ship. Only two of the vessel's 46 lifeboats were reported to have been deployed. 
 
 South Korean President Park Geun-hye on Monday condemned the conduct of some of the crew, calling it "akin to murder". 
 
 The BBC's Jonathan Head in nearby Jindo island says that the rescue operation has now become something of a grim routine, with police boats regularly returning from the scene of the disaster with bodies recovered by military divers. 
 
 Our correspondent says that most of the families of those still missing have accepted that no more survivors will be found. 
 
 Robot ready 
 
 A total of 174 passengers were rescued from the Sewol, which capsized as it sailed from Incheon in the north-west to the southern island of Jeju. 
 
 But there were 476 people on board, including 339 children and teachers on a school trip. Many were trapped inside the ship as it listed to one side and then sank. 
 
 Divers have managed to reach many of the cabins in the hull of the upturned ferry, although they are still trying to get into the ship's restaurant, where they believe many of the passengers were trapped. 
 
 They have also loaded an underwater robot at the port this morning, ready to help in the operation to bring the hull to the surface. 
 
 Crabster robot 
 
 The crabster robot is the size and weight of a Smart car 
 
 It is designed to work up to 200m below the surface in high tidal currents where divers are unable to operate 
 
 A 500m-long cable allows four operators to control the robot from a surface vessel. Data is also fed to the surface via the cable 
 
 It is equipped with 10 optical cameras and a long-range scanning sonar 
 
 Rescue officials say they will keep searching with divers for another two days, but that the families of the victims have agreed that the salvage operation can begin after that. 
 
 Investigations are focusing on whether the ferry took too sharp a turn - perhaps destabilising the vessel - before it started listing and whether an earlier evacuation order could have saved lives. 
 
 Captain Lee Joon-seok was not on the bridge when the ferry began listing. It was being steered by a third mate who had never navigated the waters where the accident occurred, prosecutors say. 
 
 The captain and two other crew members have been charged with negligence of duty and violation of maritime law. Four more crew members were reported to have been detained on Monday and two on Tuesday. 
 
 There were up to 30 crew members on the stricken ship, reports say, and some seven of them are missing. ||||| MOKPO, South Korea (AP) — As the ferry sank, some crew members gave their lifejackets to passengers. One refused to leave until she shepherded students off the ship, and was later found dead. Others worked from rescue boats to break windows with hammers and pull people trapped in cabins to safety.

 Nearly a week after the sinking of the South Korean ferry, with rising outrage over a death count that could eventually top 300, the public verdict against the crew of the Sewol has been savage and quick. "Cowards!" social media users howled. "Unforgivable, murderous," President Park Geun-hye said Monday of the captain and some crew. 
 
 Some fled the ferry, including the captain, but not all. At least seven of the 29 crew members are missing or dead, and several of those who survived stayed on or near the ship to help passengers. 
 
 "His last words were, 'I'm on my way to save the kids,'" Ahn So-hyun told reporters of what her husband, missing crew member Yang Dae-hong, told her by cellphone as the ship began to sink Wednesday. He was referring to the 323 high school students on the ferry, which was carrying a total of 476 people. 
 
 More than 100 people are confirmed dead and nearly 200 more are still missing. Relatives, as well as many other South Koreans, are enraged, lashing out at what they see as a botched rescue operation and, most vehemently, at the captain. He and two crew members have been arrested, accused of negligence and abandoning people in need. Six other crew members have been detained — two of them on Tuesday — though prosecutors have yet to obtain arrest warrants for them. 
 
 Captain Lee Joon-seok told passengers to stay in their cabins as the ferry listed and filled with water, then took at least half an hour to order an evacuation and apparently escaped on one of the first rescue boats. 
 
 But passengers recall moments of quiet bravery from the crew. 
 
 Passenger Koo Bon-hee, 36, told The Associated Press that there were not enough life jackets for everyone in the area on the third floor where he and others waited. So crew members — two men and two women — didn't wear any so that all the passengers could have one. 
 
 One of the first bodies recovered after the ferry sank was 22-year-old crew member Park Ji-young, who helped students evacuate until the last minute, even though she wasn't wearing a life vest, South Korean media reported. Witnesses told Yonhap news agency that she told students that crew members must stay on the ship until everyone else leaves, and that she would follow them after helping passengers. 
 
 Crew members describe a rending dilemma as the ship went down. The late evacuation order meant that by the time the crew got off the bridge, the tilt of the ship was so great they could barely walk, let alone rescue passengers. Should they flee the sinking ship or risk their lives to save others trapped below? 
 
 Oh Yong-seok, a 57-year-old helmsman, said he and four crew members worked from nearby boats to smash windows on the sinking ferry, dragging six passengers stuck in cabins to safety. 
 
 Oh said that a first mate — who is detained — used his knowledge of the ship's layout to help direct rescuers as they worked to pull passengers off onto rescue boats. He said he and his colleagues remained at sea trying to help until an official who appeared to be from the coast guard asked them to head to land. 
 
 His eyes welling with tears, Oh said it breaks his heart to watch news of rescue attempts from a hospital room, where he's being treated for an injury to his foot. He's tormented over the likely deaths of children who are about the same age as his own. 
 
 "We did hard work, but no media are talking about that," he said. "Instead, they say all crew members fled." 
 
 Yang, the missing crew member, was dedicated to his job, said friend Lee Joung-hwa, a celebrity manager who met Yang six years ago on the ferry during an event she had organized there. 
 
 "He was the type of guy who cared for the customers of the ferries from the moment they stepped on board," Lee said in an interview at the gymnasium in Jindo. She traveled there out of concern for her friend. 
 
 Some crew members said they feel they cannot discuss their efforts to help because the public is so enraged. 
 
 One crew member under investigation, an engineer, locked himself in a hotel room in Mokpo late Sunday night after telling fellow crew members that he would kill himself, senior prosecutor Ahn Sang-don said. Police found a rope when they entered the room, but the engineer appeared to be unhurt, Ahn said. 
 
 The engineer was among the two crew members detained Tuesday, prosecutor Yang Jung-jin said. He had been held by the coast guard on Monday, but Ahn said then it was for his own safety. 
 
 Crew members are also struggling to understand why the captain, who some called kind-hearted, didn't stay on the ship longer or help oversee rescue operations. 
 
 Oh said the captain tripped while the ship was listing and crashed into an iron door. Oh said he thought Lee might have left the ferry when he did because he was badly injured. He was surprised then to see in television footage that the captain was walking without much problem. 
 
 "The captain should have stayed there," Oh said, "even if it meant his death."

 The death toll has been ticking up more rapidly in recent days since divers have been able to get into the hull of the capsized boat. Some 194 people are still believed to be inside. 
 
 Efforts have been slowed by poor weather conditions and murky water, with divers reporting that they have been unable to see their hands in front of their faces.

 ANSAN, South Korea, April 21 (Yonhap) -- Two in 10 students who survived last week's deadly ferry sinking require psychiatric treatment as they still suffer from serious mental stress and depression, a local hospital treating the students said Monday. 
 
 The Korea University Ansan Hospital in Ansan, 42 kilometers south of Seoul, is treating 81 survivors, including 74 students from Danwon High School in Ansan. 
 
 "We're considering sending about 20 percent of the patients to a psychiatric clinic with consent from themselves and their parents in the judgment that they require constant intervention (by the hospital)," said Cha Sang-hoon, chief of the hospital. 
 
 He referred to the students who were rescued from the ferry disaster that killed 61 passengers and left 238 others unaccounted for. 
 
 The students were on a school trip when the 6,825-ton ferry Sewol capsized and sank off the southwestern island of Jindo on its way to the southern resort island of Jeju on Wednesday. 
 
 Most of the surviving students have recovered from their initial anxiety and an inability to express their emotions, but some still suffer from serious mental stress and depression, according to the hospital. 
 
 The hospital said it will decide whether to allow the students who have recovered to be discharged after monitoring their condition for two to three more days. 
 
 With preparations under way to resume classes at the victims' school this week, the school authorities are considering special educational programs for the surviving students. 
 
 Right after the tragedy took place on Wednesday, Danwon High School decided to close the school for a week. 
 
 "In cooperation with relevant education entities, we are to organize special programs for the second-year students focusing on psychological treatment including one-on-one counseling services," said an official of the Gyeonggi-do Office of Education. "Such programs would be held at hospitals." 
 
 
 
 A total of 325 sophomores from Danwon were on a field trip to Jeju when the tragic incident took place. Of them, more than 200 students remained unaccounted for. 
 
 "For those in the third year, class will restart from Thursday, and for freshmen next Monday," the official said, adding that a special team of doctors, counselors and teachers will first attend to the students.

 Dozens of police officers in neon green jackets formed a cordon around the dock as the bodies arrived Tuesday. Since divers found a way over the weekend to enter the submerged ferry, the death count has shot up. Officials said Tuesday that confirmed fatalities had reached 104, with nearly 200 people still missing. 
 
 If a body lacks identification, details such as height, hair length and clothing are posted on a white signboard for families waiting on Jindo island for news. 
 
 The bodies are then driven in ambulances to two tents: one for men and boys, the other for women and girls. Families listen quietly outside as an official briefs them, then line up and file in. Only relatives are allowed inside. 
 
 For a brief moment there is silence. Then the anguished cries, the wailing, the howling. They have not known for nearly a week whether they should grieve or not, and now they sound like they're being torn apart. 
 
 "How do I live without you? How will your mother live without you?" a woman cries out. 
 
 She is with a woman who emerges from a tent crying and falls into a chair where relatives try to comfort her. One stands above her and cradles her head in her hands, stroking her face. 
 
 "Bring back my daughter!" the woman cries, calling out her child's name in agony. A man rushes over, lifts her on his back and carries her away. 
 
 This heartbreak awaits many families of those still missing from the submerged ferry Sewol, or at least those whose relatives' bodies are ultimately recovered. Families who once dreamed of miraculous rescues now simply hope their loved ones' remains are recovered soon, before the ocean does much more damage. 
 
 "At first, I was just very sad, but now it's like an endless wait," said Woo Dong-suk, a construction worker and uncle of one of the students. "It's been too long already. The bodies must be decayed. The parents' only wish right now is to find the bodies before they are badly decomposed." 
 
 About 250 of the more than 300 missing or dead are students from a single high school, in Ansan near Seoul, who were on their way to the southern tourist island of Jeju. 
 
 The captain, Lee Joon-seok, and two crew members have been arrested on suspicion of negligence and abandoning people in need. Prosecutors detained six other crew members — four on Monday and two on Tuesday — but have yet to obtain arrest warrants for them. 
 
 Bodies are being identified visually, but family members have been providing DNA samples in case decomposition makes that impossible. 
 
 In Ansan, funerals were held for more than 10 of the teens Tuesday, and education officials were building a temporary memorial that they expected to complete by Wednesday. 
 
 At the city education office, parents issued a letter pleading for more government help in the rescue, and condemning its response so far. The letter also criticized media for reporting false rumors, and for doggedly pursuing interviews with surviving children. 
 
 "The children say that when they look at the window, sudden fear of water seizes them. What the children need is utmost stability," said Jang Dong-won, father of a rescued female student. 
 
 The families, and South Koreans more broadly, have at times responded with fury. The captain initially told passengers to stay in their rooms and waited more than half an hour to issue an evacuation order as the Sewol sank. By then, the ship had tilted so much it is believed that many passengers were trapped inside. 
 
 At a Cabinet briefing Monday, President Park Geun-hye said, "What the captain and part of the crew did is unfathomable from the viewpoint of common sense. Unforgivable, murderous behavior." The comments were posted online by the presidential Blue House. 
 
 Lee, 68, has said he waited to issue an evacuation order because the current was strong, the water was cold and passengers could have drifted away before help arrived. But maritime experts said he could have ordered passengers to the deck — where they would have had a greater chance of survival — without telling them to abandon ship. 
 
 A transcript of ship-to-shore communications released Sunday revealed a ship that was crippled with indecision. A crew member asked repeatedly whether passengers would be rescued after abandoning ship even as the ferry tilted so sharply that it became impossible to escape. 
 
 Emergency task force spokesman Koh Myung-seok said bodies have mostly been found on the third and fourth floor of the ferries, where many passengers seemed to have gathered. Many students were also housed in cabins on the fourth floor, near the stern of the ship, Koh said. 
 
 The cause of the disaster is not yet known, and only became murkier Tuesday, when a South Korean official said the ferry had taken a less severe turn shortly before the sinking than had been initially reported. 
 
 Data transmitted by the Sewol's automatic identification system, an on-board transponder used for tracking, shows that the ship made a J-shaped turn before listing heavily and ultimately sinking. 
 
 A ministry of ocean and fisheries official had said Friday that the vessel had taken a sharp turn. But on Tuesday a ministry official speaking on condition of anonymity saying he wasn't authorized to speak to media, said the AIS data received by a central station was incomplete because the ship's signal was weak. 
 
 More complete data, retrieved from a base station in Mokpo, includes about four minutes of tracking, and the ship spent most of that time making a roughly 180-degree turn. 
 
 It remains unclear why the ship turned around shortly before it sank. The third mate, who has been arrested, was steering at the time of the accident, in a challenging area where she had not steered before, and the captain said he was not on the bridge at the time. 
 
 Authorities have not identified the third mate, though a colleague identified her as Park Han-gyeol. Senior prosecutor Ahn Song-don said Monday the third mate has told investigators why she made the turn, but he would not reveal her answer, and more investigation is needed to determine whether the answer is accurate.

– Members of the sunken South Korean ferry's crew have been likened to "murderers," and two more were detained today, the BBC reports. But some of them, the AP notes, were actually heroes, survivors say. Four gave up their life jackets for passengers amid a shortage; others broke windows to drag would-be victims out of the ship. One refused to leave until she got students to safety and was later found dead. Says the wife of another, who's still missing: "His last words were, 'I'm on my way to save the kids.'" Meanwhile, the number of victims continues to rise and now stands at 108, the BBC notes. Families have agreed that after two more days of searching the rescue operation can become a salvage effort; authorities today set up an underwater robot to help haul up the ship. Relatives are acknowledging that it's unlikely any more will be rescued. "It's been too long already. The bodies must be decayed," an uncle of one of the students tells the AP. In other news: One theory as to how the ship sank: It took a turn too sharply. Only two of 46 lifeboats were accessible because the ship tilted so much, the BBC and NBC News report. The ship's initial distress call came from a frightened boy who called the emergency number 119. "Save us! We're on a ship and I think it's sinking," he reportedly said. Afterward, about 20 more children called 119. Many child survivors may need therapy following the disaster. "We're considering sending about 20% of the patients to a psychiatric clinic with consent from themselves and their parents in the judgment that they require constant intervention," says a hospital chief, via Yonhap. Classes at their school are set to resume this week.
