A V.I. police marine unit rescued two men near Savanna Island off St. Thomas on Thursday afternoon.
Police Commissioner Franz Christian said the two unidentified men were en route to St. Thomas. About 3 p.m. a friend of the two men went to the marine unit in Krum Bay to report that he had been called by the boaters that their vessel had begun to take on water.
The marine unit responded, pulled the two men off the disabled vessel and returned to St. Thomas.
Christian could not address the fate of the crippled vessel or say where the men were coming from.
