(NewsNation) — Three mariners stranded on an island in the Pacific Ocean were saved after making a “HELP” sign made from leaves from palm trees that was seen by a U.S. Navy aircraft.
The mariners had been on Pikelot Atoll, which is part of the Federated States of Micronesia, for “more than a week” before being rescued by the Coast Guard and Navy, a news release said.
