Two teenagers who are lost at sea off the United States for six days were saved yesterday.

     Driscoll, and his best friend, 18-year-old Josh Long, were found on Saturday about 11 km  1   Cape Fear in North Carolina.That was six days and more than 100 miles (161 km) from where they had  2  from Sullivan’s Island, South Carolina, on April 24.

     The boys had  3  a lot of water and were tired, but in pretty good  4  .They set out 5  on a 4.3-metre sailboat on a  6   day when the National Weather Service had warned small boats to stay out of the water.They realized they were  7   almost immediately and tried to swim back to  8  ,  9  the boat along with them.

Within  10  , they were far out at sea.

     “We  11  our fishing equipment on the second day,” Driscoll said.“So we couldn’t catch any fish.”

     The boys’ hopes faded  12   each day.They stood on their boat  13   they saw another boat,  14  .One night they were woken up by  15   coming into the boat.A large ship was very close to them.

     “  16  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.17  , they were 179km north of their starting point.A coast guard boat set out to  18   them.

     The boys got up and made some  19  .This time, they were heard.

     “What we have experienced is a completely surprising story of  20  .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.”
