Has a person stranded somewhere ever been successfully recovered or found by sending a message in a bottle? I mean its customary on a deserted island, but has it ever worked in someone getting rescued?

From 2005:
Costa Rican officials say 86 shipwrecked migrants have been rescued after fishermen found a message in a bottle they had thrown overboard.
The migrants, mainly teenagers from Ecuador and Peru, had been adrift in their packed boat for three days.
The vessel had been floating near Cocos Island, a nature reserve 600km (372 miles) off the Costa Rican coast.
It is believed that the group were abandoned by people smugglers when the vessel got into trouble.

I don't know how they GET the bottle, paper or pen while on the island, but I guess it could have happened. I'm sure somebody somewhere was rescued that way. Good question though!
