"Castaways Saved by 'HELP' Sign on Desert Island"

Three mariners were rescued from a remote atoll in the Pacific after a U.S. Navy plane spotted their "HELP" sign made of palm fronds. The men, stranded for a week, had set out for fishing when their boat was damaged. Their distress call was received after their radio battery died, and they were eventually spotted by a reconnaissance jet. The men were provided with survival packages before being rescued by a Coast Guard cutter, marking a remarkable testament to their will to be found.
