Stranded sailors saved by spelling out help with palm leaves
Three men spent several days on a deserted island after their boat was damaged
Three stranded sailors were rescued from a deserted island in the Pacific on Tuesday, ending a week-long ordeal after their boat was damaged, the US Coast Guard said in a statement this week.
Rescuers were able to locate the castaways thanks to a 'help' sign that they spelled out with palm leaves on the beach.
