Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Dick, a sailor lad, woos and wins Mabel, the daughter of a hard, miserly shipping merchant. Dick, in order to get some money before getting married, secures a position as mate on a coasting vessel. The ship happens to belong to his prospective father-in-law, who has received a report that she is in very bad condition and must not leave port. He pays little attention to this report, and lets her sail. But before doing so, he writes a note to his future son-in-law, to come and see him. Dick also receives a letter from Mabel to meet her before he sails. He pays no attention to the old man’s letter, and after leaving his sweetheart, sails away. The report reaches the old miser that ship and crew have been dashed to pieces. It kills the old miser, and almost kills his daughter. As luck would have it, Dick is the sole survivor. He finds his sweetheart at their trysting place, brooding over her loss. This is suddenly dispelled by her lover’s strong arms about her. It is needless to say that they are eventually married.
