<P> During the attempt to fly back to Hawaii , however , the plane has engine trouble . The Professor orders Gilligan to jettison some weight , and in doing so , Gilligan falls out and has to parachute down to the island . The castaways elect to return for Gilligan , although the Professor warns takeoff will be impossible again . Right after landing , the engine falls off , and the Skipper remarks it would have been certain death had that happened while airborne . Gilligan inadvertedly saved the castaways again , and the group says they should look for him . They soon find him stuck in a tree , but now they are dismayed because the plane was their last hope of rescue . Their despair is quickly dispelled when a U.S. Navy captain appears saying that their plane was detected on radar long enough for them to follow it to the island . The castaways are once again returned to civilization and to ensure that Gilligan 's Island gets charted , the U.S. government pinpoints the location of the island to prevent future castaway incidents . </P>
