A 63-year-old Hawthorne man missing on a fishing trip was found injured and semi-coherent on a remote rocky Santa Barbara Island beach Friday afternoon after two days and nights of an intense air and sea search.

Robert Pullen Sr., who set out alone from Marina del Rey harbor Wednesday morning and failed to return as scheduled that evening, was discovered lying on a life jacket near the debris of his 18-foot power boat by two Channel Islands National Park rangers..

Pullen reportedly suffered broken ribs and a broken collar bone.
