These Stranded Teens Lived A Real Life 'Lord of the Flies'

Approaching the Boat

While Peter was trying to decide whether or not to stop and investigate, he noticed something more troubling...a figure swimming out toward the boat! He was nervously anticipating the interaction, but then noticed something even more nervewracking...there were 5 other figures right behind him! He was worried that he had upset some indigenous culture, but in fact, he was saving a life...
