Three Taiwanese fishermen were rescued yesterday from a small uninhabited

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 encountered a typhoon, and it badly damaged
their
boat. Fortunately, no one was hurt.
After the storm had passed, they discovered that the engine wouldnt start, so
their boat just drifted 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 shore. On the island, they found fresh fruit and
vegetables, and they continued to catch fish to eat. The fishermen had lived on
the
island for two months when a passing ship rescued them. Although the three
men
had lost a lot of weight, they were still in fairly good shape. Their families

de la
Polynesian palabra tatau, que significa '' smbolo ''. En Polinesia tatuajes eran
un signo de
la condicin social y la transicin de la niez a la vida adulta. Se hicieron

Occidente cuando los marineros en viajes de descubrimiento a las islas de la
