| episode_narrative | A group of seven illegal immigrants from mainland China jumped from a Taiwanese fishing boat off Apra Harbor's reef at 2000 GLST. A few got caught in the strong swells which resulted in the deaths of two of them. Three others, who also got caught in the strong swells, were found clinging to a buoy at the entrance to Apra Harbor. Rescue efforts began at 0650 on January 4th after the crew membersof the Japanese fishing vessel Iya Maru reported seeing the three men clinging to the buoy. Guam fire rescue units took the three men to the commercial pier at 0738. Rescue efforts continued after further questioning revealed the suspected illegal immigrants were among a group of seven people.

The first man was wearing a personal flotation device and had been badly battered on the reef by the high surf.
