On the same boat is John Forman, who, having "struck it rich," has decided to return to the Southland. They become acquainted when Forman resents an insult perpetrated on Alice by Jim Medford, a gambler, also from the Klondike. Later, through some fault of the engines, the ship catches afire, and in the ensuing panic, no one remembers the little widow but Forman, who misses her. He dashes below and drags her and her baby out of the burning cabin, obtains life belts and they cling to the life raft with others, and are finally cast ashore. The survivors are taken to the home of Harry Weston, the lighthouse keeper. Alice gives him her bag of gold dust for safe keeping, and he hides it, safely, as he thinks. But Medford, who has waited for just such a chance for revenge on Alice and Forman, discovers the gold, steals it, and though nearly trapped, rushes from the house. He gains the beach, but seeing that he cannot escape, scatters the dust upon the sands. Thinking all the gold is lost, Forman, who has followed Medford, makes good the loss from his own bag, and once more earns the profound gratitude of Alice. Four years later, investments fall, and John Forman finds himself an almost ruined man. But "bread, scattered on the waters, returns." And Alice, reading of his losses, sees where she can prove her gratitude, and forthwith sends him a check for an amount sufficient to cover his margins. He retrieves his fortune, and when, a month later he seeks to return the money, he is sought to keep it, which he does, as well as Alice and her little daughter, Lillian.
