The boys were unable to signal the ship on the horizon because they lacked the necessary tools and means to create an effective signal.

Additionally, the distance and possible weather conditions may have further hindered their ability to be seen or heard. Ultimately, their isolation and desperation made it challenging to communicate with the outside world.
