Three men were spotted and saved after being stranded on a small isolated island in the pacific ocean . They were spotted by the US Navy and the Coastguard because of a sign they had drawn on the beach that said 'HELP'. The Sailors had been stranded for three days after there boat sunk and they were forced to swim to to the shore of the island. They used branches from the palm trees to write the sign and they also used their brightly coloured life jackets to be more visible so they would get noticed. A US navy aircraft spotted their sign and a boat was sent to pick them up from the small island which was actually called Fanadik. In the end all three of the men were fine.
