CANBERRA, Australia — Two desperate, dehydrated men found bobbing in a bathtub-size cooler off Australia told authorities they spent 25 days adrift after their fishing boat sank, officials said Tuesday. There was no sign of 18 other crew members.
The Myanmar men, 22 and 24, were rescued by helicopter Saturday, Maritime Safety Authority spokeswoman Tracey Jiggins said. They were treated for dehydration and released Tuesday.
The men told police they had been aboard a 30-foot wooden fishing boat that sank Dec. 23 with a total crew of 20 from Thailand and Myanmar.
