They may not exactly be castaways, but 12 visiting conservatory trustees from Louisiana on Wednesday were stuck on a remote tropical island in the Pacific Ocean, KITV reported. The trustees were due to leave Palmyra Island, about 1,000 miles southwest of Hawaii, on Saturday. But the only plane that flies directly to the island, owned by the Nature Conservancy of Hawaii and protected as a national wildlife refuge, needs an engine replaced.
