3 Men Rescued from Pacific Island After Writing ‘Help’ With Palm Leaveswww.nytimes.com American rescuers found the lost sailors on a tiny uninhabited island in Micronesia with a damaged boat and the word spelled out on the beach.

Did they bring Wilson with them?

I am concerned about what Gilligan, Captain, and the Professor have done with all the rest.

Coast guard just quietly doing heroes work again. So cool.

Insert Far Side "HELF" comic here.

Respect for not slacking with a mere SOS.

Due to a spelling gaffe, their first attempt said HELLO.

Happy to see it finally worked.
