Three men aboard a 19-ft skiff set off for a short sailing trip into the south Pacific. The weather grew rough, and the tiny ship was tossed into the sea on Monday night.
Stranded in the dark and their ship lost far from ground, the men could only swim.
Buoyed by life vests, they swam nearly two miles under a dark sky until they reached the long-deserted Fanadik, several hundred miles north of Papua New Guinea.
For three days they remained stranded on the remote island, praying for rescue.
Then, on Thursday morning, crew aboard a US navy plane zipping through the sky spotted three men waving fluorescent orange life vests. They stood next to piles of palm fronds that spelled: H-E-L-P.

3 Men Rescued on Deserted Pacific Island

2016/04/09 に公開
米沿岸警備隊は9日までに、太平洋の無人島に漂着していた男性3人を救助したと発表した。砂浜にヤシの葉で描かれた「HELP(助けて)」の文字を、日本の三沢基地(青森県)所属の米海軍機が発見したことが救助の決め手になった。
3人は乗っていた船が大波で沈没し、3・2キロを泳いで無人島にたどり着いた。ヤシの葉で文字を作り、3日ぶりに救助された。救助は7日。
無人島は米ハワイ州ホノルルの南西約4200キロに位置するミクロネシア連邦のファナディック島。

Fanadik Island, Micronesia

日本とオーストラリアのちょうど中間くらいの位置。
赤道に近く、小島なので飲料水も無さそう。
漂着者たちは生死の境目で辛くも命拾いをした体だ。

It was a fairly even contest, as the Animals version of the song peaked higher (#29) but spent one fewer weeks on the Hot 100.

Lead singer Sonny Geraci would return in the’70s with his new group Climax, of “Precious And Few” fame.

1st Recording Of “Help Me, Rhonda” as “Help Me, Ronda”
This less-familiar track with the “Ronda” spelling was recorded in January 1965 and was first heard in their album “Beach Boys Today!” Some weeks later (February 24th) the group waxed the shorter, differently-arranged version which was released as the chart-topping 45 single and was also later included in the LP “Summer Days (And Summer Nights!!).”
Brian Wilson was among the back-up vocalists on Johnny Rivers’ 1975 revival of the song, which reached #22 on Billboard and was patterned more after that first Beach Boys arrangement (though it rocked a bit harder

For the flipside “Little Man You’ve Had A Busy Day,”
“help” という語が黒人系の音楽に多用されていたのは、やはり被差別の立場だったからということも含め、いろんな理由で困窮したり、社会的に危うい立場に立たされたりということが多かったからだろうと推察される。
古い時代のスピリチュアルスや伝統的なゴスペルでは死後の救済が大きなテーマとして扱われており、彼らの現実に対する絶望感が反映されているように思われる。
