Xinhua News Agency reports that 268 fishermen who were trapped by Typhoon Wutip in the South China Sea have arrived in Sanya, Hainan Province, after 15 hours onboard navy vessels.
The bodies of four fishermen who sadly lost their lives were also brought back to Sanya.
The government has said that it will try its best to find the 58 fishermen who remain missing after three fishing boats sank near Shanhu Island in the Xisha Islands, about 330km from China's island province of Hainan on Sunday afternoon.
According to the news agency, the fishermen had received typhoon warnings starting on Friday but did not go ashore. Instead, they placed their ships in a lagoon south of Shanhu Island to avoid gales, but the typhoon overturned their boats.
