Survivor in real

Three teenagers who survived on rainwater and a seagull during 50 days adrift off their remote Pacific territory of Tokelau were in Fiji on Friday after what was hailed as a "miracle" rescue.

The boys, who had resorted to sipping seawater when the rain stopped, would not have survived much longer, said Tai Fredricsen, the first mate on the New Zealand-based tuna vessel San Nikunau, which found the trio.
