They part to meet that evening at the same place. Sam Wilson and his band of beachcombers change the government beacon fire, used to guide vessels safely past the rocks. Betty reaches the scene as they have finished their work. She is immediately taken prisoner and carried off to their rendezvous. Dubois, arriving a few moments later, is searching for Betty when he discovers the misplaced light. He connects the transposed light with the disappearance of Betty, and gathering his comrades he sets out to find Betty. He does not find her until the pirates are prepared for the final rush upon the hut in which Sam Wilson, now violently in love, is guarding Betty. In payment for his kindness Betty hides Sam from her lover, and all of Wilson's hopeless love is vented in a passionate kiss of her hand. Written by
