Three fishermen were saved yesterday from a small island in the South Pacific. The men had disappeared for more than three months.

They had left Taiwan in a small fishing boat and had planned a week-long trip. On their fifth day, however, they met a typhoon(台风), and it badly broke their boat.

Luckily, none of the men was hurt. After the typhoon had passed, though, they discovered that the engine(发动机) wouldn’t start, so their boat just drifted(漂流) at sea for over a month. During this time, the fishermen caught fish to eat and drank rain water to stay alive.

Finally, the boat drifted toward a small island. When it got close enough, the men jumped out and swam to the island. On the island, they found fresh fruit and vegetables, and they continued to catch fish to eat.
