The Mexican navy has rescued four fishermen from Colombia and Ecuador who spent more than a month adrift in a small boat after getting lost at sea and running out of fuel.
The fishermen, who set off in late September from a Pacific Ocean port in northwestern Ecuador, were rescued Saturday off the coast of Chiapas in southern Mexico, some 2,000 kilometers (1,200 miles) away, said the navy.
The night before, a patrol plane had spotted "a small boat adrift with four crew waving their arms for help," the navy said in a statement.
A navy patrol was dispatched to rescue the men - two Colombians, age 28 and 34, and two Ecuadorans, 26 and 42. They were then handed over to immigration authorities in Chiapas.
