It looked like an episode of Gilligan’s Island, but it was a real-life plea for help.
On Thursday, the United States Navy and Coast Guard rescued three shipwrecked mariners from a desert island after they wrote the word “help” on the beach using palm fronds, the Washington Post reported.
The men’s 19-foot skiff overturned on Monday night, leaving them to swim over two miles to the shores of “the tiny Pacific Island of Fanadik, several hundred miles north of Papua New Guinea,” according to the Post. They remained there until Thursday morning, when a Navy plane noticed the letters on the beach.

The search for survivors from the sinking of the El Faro cargo ship will be called off at sunset Wednesday, the U.S. Coast Guard has confirmed.
USCG Captain Mark Fedor told reporters Wednesday afternoon that it was highly unlikely anybody could have survived six days at sea after abandoning ship in midst of a Category 4 hurricane.
“The decision to end a search is painful, but it is based on the art and science of rescue [operations],” Fedor said, adding that a person could only survive for 4-5 days at sea even in favorable conditions.

TSA agents would remain in airports, patrol agents would still be manning the border and Coast Guard officers would continue monitoring the waters if the Department of Homeland Security were to shut down.
But out of the public eye, there would be major problems, DHS officials warned Monday, as the Feb. 27 deadline to fund the department creeps closer.
“A shutdown of DHS would have serious consequences and amount to a serious disruption in our ability to protect the homeland,” Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said at a press conference at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services headquarters.
