"Castaways Rescued: Sailors Use 'HELP' Sign to Signal for Rescue"

Three sailors stranded on a tiny Pacific atoll were rescued after making a "HELP" sign with palm tree leaves, which was spotted from the air. The men, who had been living on coconuts, were found on Pikelot Atoll after a distress call from a relative. The U.S. Coast Guard and Navy coordinated the rescue, dropping survival packages and a radio onto the island before picking up the sailors. This is not the first time sailors have been rescued from the atoll after making a sign with palm leaves.
