Three men have been rescued from a remote desert island, north of Papua New Guinea. They became marooned on the uninhabited South Pacific island after their boat capsized. The men swam for nearly three kilometres to reach land. They wrote the word 'HELP' in the sand in palm leaves. Their prayers were answered after three days when a U.S. Coast Guard plane saw their message on the beach.
The Coast Guard said: "Our combined efforts, coupled with the willingness of many different resources to come together and help, led to the successful rescue of these three men in a very remote part of the Pacific." None of the men was injured. The U.S. Coast Guard has done many rescues recently. They have worked on seven search-and-rescue missions in the past two weeks, saving the lives of 15 people.
