Message in a Bottle Saves Sea Migrants
By Associated Press

June 1, 2005, 3:20 PM EDT

SAN JOSE, Costa Rica -- Eighty-eight South Americans lost at sea while trying to reach the United States were rescued after tying a message in a bottle to a passing boat's fishing line, and authorities were returning them to Ecuador, Costa Rican officials said Wednesday.

The migrants were adrift for three days after being abandoned by smugglers because their vessel was taking on water.

"It was the women in the group that had the idea," Interior Ministry spokesman Nicolas Aguilar said Tuesday.

After drawing in the fishing lines, crew members of the ship Rey de Reyes found the message saying, "Help, please, help us."

The ship's captain notified authorities on the Isla de Coco national park, and they then asked the environmental group MarViva to send a boat to investigate. The group towed the migrants to the island Sunday.

4. Doesn't take smarts to be an incubator

any more than it does to be a sperm donor.

Have you looked around at what's reproducing these days ?
