Unfortunately that link's members only. Here's one that worked for me:
7 News report (https://7news.com.au/news/qld/torres-strait-rescue-men-saved-from-shark-infested-waters-after-clinging-onto-piece-of-wood-for-15-hours-c-1706610#:~:text=Two%20men%20have%20been%20rescued,boat%20san k%20on%20Wednesday%20evening.)
Very lucky guys.

FYI, the OP's link is behind a paywall.
I hope they had warmed up before they were winched vertically to the helicopter - you run the risk of the warm blood around the core draining into the legs if not.

Torres Strait, mate, just south of the equator, water is pretty warm...but a valid point, a Stokes lift is preferred.
I'm surprised the crocs didn't get them first, but I suppose the crocs were busy eating sharks.
