Three men were rescued from a desert island far away on Thursday. The three sailors became helpless on the small island of Fanadik in the South Pacific Ocean after their boat broke and went down into the sea. The island is several hundred kilometres north of Papua New Guinea(巴布亚新几内亚). Even though they lost their boat at night, the men managed to swim for nearly three kilometres to reach land.They stayed on the island for three days and believed they were modern-day Robinson.They wrote the word “HELP” in the sand using palm leaves so they might be seen by a plane. They were answered when a U.S. Coast Guard(美国海岸警卫队) plane saw their message on the beach.

A Coast Guard spokesman spoke about the rescue. He said, “We tried our best, with 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.” Once the men were found, their families were told and they were put on a boat back to the island of Pulap, from where they had set out to sea days ago.The Coast Guard said all the three men were in good health. The rescue is one of many the U.S. Coast Guard has taken recently. Officials say that in the last two weeks, they have taken seven search-and-rescue missions in the South Pacific, saving the lives of 15 people.
