Missing boaters found after pilot spots SOS on cabin roof

This news link is short on details but the missing boaters had enough sense to at least carry a signal mirror and to also think of making a SOS sign on a cabin roof that they came across.

INUVIK, N.W.T. Mounties say a pilot who spotted an S-O-S sign from the air helped find a group of boaters who had been missing from Inuvik.

RCMP say the pilot with NorthWright Airways was on a regular flight from Inuvik to Aklavik noticed the call for help spelled out on a cabin roof along the Mackenzie River.
