A possible berth looms in sight and "Davy" steers his footsteps straight ahead and walks up the "gangplank" to the front door, where he is received by a blooming "gazabo" of a maid, who pilots him to the landlady. She shows him a furnished "stateroom," in which he makes himself at home. "Davy" and the landlady are attracted, and wave signals to that effect, which are at once interpreted as "mutual." While their little flirtation is sailing on calm seas a typhoon of a neighbor blows in upon the scene. She immediately lays siege to "Davy's" susceptible heart and leaves the landlady marooned in jealousy and despair, while the lubber of a Captain floats proudly out of the harbor in tow with his new conquest, gliding along like a ship at full sail. The landlady says: "It's 'er finery and airs w'ats ailing 'im. I'll put on me trimmin's and beat 'er out at 'er own game." And, sure enough, she does in the very next scene, for it is here we see the landlady heaving in sight while "Davy" and her rival are calmed in quiet waters, which are somewhat disturbed by the boarding-house keepers' presence, when, "blow me jibs," if "Davy" won't desert the first craft and tackle on to 'er what keeps the mess room. Everything is going as serene as a calm morn on a June day when the neighborly rival again comes bounding over the asphalt in an entire change of sails, and looms out in a new set of colors, to whom "Davy" throws out a hauser, and, after drawing the fair charmer into the fleet, pulls anchor and tacks for home with a lady to windward and leeward. During the flirtation "Davy Jones'" wife finds his boarding house and learning of his "Don Juan" behavior, eagerly awaits his coming. With all the air of a gay Lothario "Davy," with his companions, now reach the dock and casts anchor and makes fast for a minute. Like a ship in the night Mrs. "Davy Jones" makes her presence known, and the way she clears the bulwarks for action is something alarming, and still more so is the way she grabs her husband by the flipper and tows him into hot water, which would do credit to a "bobby." The rival flames of "Davy's" love-making now start pull hauling it between themselves, blaming each other for the fool doings of the day and clinching the whole business with a "snatch-as-scratch-can" hair pulling scrimmage, bathed in tears and cooled by the fanning breezes of the funny-faced hired girl, who calls time and grimaces her encouragement and enjoyment.
