Three men rescued off island after making 'HELP' sign with leaves

Three men were rescued by the US Coast Guard off an island in Micronesia after they sent out a plea for help using palm tree leaves.
 
They spelled out 'HELP' with the leaves, which led to the rescue nine days after they left on a sailing trip.
 
They had been reported missing after failing to return from a journey to Pikelot Atoll - an uninhabited coral island about 415 miles from Guam.
 
It is the second time in four years people were rescued from the island.
