Britons, always a treat

When three Britons were washed up on a remote Indonesian island, their relief must have been immense.

For 12 hours they and two other divers had been clinging to each other in shark-infested waters after being carried from their diving boat by currents.

But wracked by dehydration and exhaustion, their joy at reaching Rinca island was short-lived when a Komodo dragon appeared on the beach. They pelted it with rocks and it retreated, and the five divers were later rescued.
