For more than 50 days, the three boys slurped rainwater that puddled in the bottom of their tiny boat, gobbled flying fish that leaped aboard and prayed for salvation.
Etueni Nasau and his two cousins almost gave up hope they would survive as they bobbed in their aluminum dinghy across the South Pacific for more than seven weeks, before a fishing trawler spotted them by chance and brought an end to their extraordinary ordeal.
'I thank God for keeping us alive all this while, while were drifting out in open sea,' Nasau, 14, told The Associated Press. 'We prayed every day that someone will find us and rescue us. We thought we would die.' - Yahoo! News
