Two teenagers who are
lost at sea off the United
States for six days were saved yesterday.
Driscoll, 15, and his best
friend, 18-year-old Josh Long, were found on Saturday about 11 km 16 Cape Fear in North
Carolina. That was six days and more than 100 miles (161 km)
from where they had 17
from Sullivan’s Island, South
Carolina, on April 24.
The boys had 18 a lot of water and were tired, but in pretty good 19 . They set out 20 on a 4.3-metre sailboat on a 21 day when the National Weather Service had
warned small boats to stay out of the water. They realized they were 22
almost immediately and
tried to swim back to 23 , 24 the boat along with them.
Within 25 , they were far out at sea.
“We 26
our fishing equipment on the second day,” Driscoll said. “So we
couldn’t catch any fish.”
The boys’ hopes faded 27 each day. They stood on
their boat 28 they saw another boat, 29
. One night they were woken up by 30 coming into the boat. A large ship was very close
to them.
“ 31
was like some huge building in the water,” Driscoll said.
At
one point, the boys thought they had gone across the Atlantic Ocean and were
close to Africa.
32 , they were 179km north of their starting point. A
coast guard boat set out to 33 them.
The
boys got up and made some 34
. This time, they were heard.
“What
we have experienced is a completely surprising story of 35 . That’s going to be studied for years to come,” said Richard Goerling, Long’s uncle. “I think
the boys have a book to write.”
