Two Army ROTC cadets visiting from the mainland were rescued Sunday after spending the night lost in a jungle warfare course in Wahiawa.

Lt. Col. Curtis Kellogg, spokesman for the Army’s 25th Infantry Division, said two college students became lost while participating Saturday in land navigation training in Schofield Barracks East Range. The cadets were in the jungle operations training course, which is about 6 square miles covered with dense vegetation.

After the two failed to return by the allotted time at noon, the Army launched a search that included about 200 soldiers and Army vehicles and helicopters. Honolulu police and firefighters also helped, Kellogg said.

Honolulu Fire Department spokesman Capt. Scot Seguirant said firefighters assisted with a helicopter.

The two cadets were found on a road in the training area at about 11 a.m.

Kellogg said the cadets were “a little tired and possibly a little hungry but otherwise in good shape.”

Man who crashed pickup truck dies

A 21-year-old Honolulu man who police said was speeding when he crashed a pickup into two parked vehicles Friday night in Pauoa has died.

Police said the man, who has not been identified, died at 4:10 p.m. Saturday. His was the 35th traffic fatality this year on Oahu compared with 25 at this time last year.

At about 10:45 p.m. Friday, the driver, heading northbound on Kanealii Avenue, crossed the centerline north of Booth District Park and struck a utility pole, police said.

He continued in the same direction for about 200 feet and struck two vehicles parked on the southbound side of the road before his truck overturned and he was thrown onto the road.

Coast Guard, Australian navy rescue boaters

For the second time in two days, a warship participating in this year’s Rim of the Pacific exercise answered the call of civilian boaters in distress.

The U.S. Coast Guard said it got word Saturday of a 911 call from the crew of a disabled sailing vessel 4 miles east of Makapuu Point. The mast of the 38-foot Catalina sloop Gypsy had broken with four crew members on board.

The Royal Australian navy frigate Toowoomba, which was operating 5 miles north of the Gypsy, answered the call. The Coast Guard also launched 45-foot Response Boat-Medium from its Honolulu station.

The Toowoomba was on the scene first. Its three-person rescue and response team helped get the Gypsy’s mast out of the water and prepared the vessel to be towed by the Coast Guard to Kaneohe. None of the Gypsy’s crew reported any injury.

On Friday helicopters from the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier airlifted five mariners off a 35-foot boat that had run aground in shallow waters off the northern side of Niihau.

Sailor saved from sinking vessel

The Coast Guard said it evacuated the sole crew member aboard a 17-foot recreational boat that was sinking off the coast of Poipu, Kauai, on Sunday. The crew member was taken safely aboard the Station Kauai Rescue Boat-Medium and returned to shore. The Coast Guard released a Hazard to Navigation notice regarding the sinking vessel, which was drifting below the surface. The maximum pollution potential from the boat is 60 gallons of gasoline.
