Description:

A 19-year-old Australian surfer, Darcy Deefholts, was rescued Thursday after spending the night on uninhabited North Solitary Island, about seven miles offshore. He went missing Wednesday after surfing near Wooli, prompting a land and sea search. His father made an emotional plea for help online. Police and Marine Rescue NSW crews found him safely the next day, calling it a “miracle,” CBS News has reported. He is receiving medical treatment.
