Soon after his departure his fiancée learned that she had treated him unjustly, but was unable to get any trace of him. The young woman was a teacher in a school for deaf mutes. A year later the warships of the United States Navy gathered in the North River, and there was a great land parade, at which the girl was one of the spectators. Among the men who marched by her she saw with delight the man she loved. She followed him to his ship and there were mutual explanations and forgiveness. On the day the fleet sailed the young sailor and his sweetheart lunched together. In the other end of the room far from all the other guests were foreign looking men. They were whispering together and the girl watched them. Because of her ability to read the lip, she was able to understand everything they said. They were discussing a plot to blow up the ships of the fleet as they passed out to sea. The girl told the facts to her sweetheart, and two followed the conspirators to a lonely hut near the Narrows. There while the conspirators were inside waiting, the young sailor located the wires leading to the hidden mine, dived into the water and severed them. After taking other precautions he returned to the ship, where his statement of what had happened caused him to be warmly commended. On an eminence near the hut one of the conspirators stood watching. Suddenly he turned and ran into the building with the news that the fleet was in range of the mines. Exultantly the conspirators touched the button. To their amazement the big warships were sailing majestically along and there were no signs of any explosion. Frantically they overhauled their apparatus, but suddenly there was an interruption. A number of policemen dashed into the shack and placed the cursing conspirators under arrest. On the deck of one of the finest warships was a young sailor who looked back toward the land and waved his cap with a smile. On the shore was a young girl who returned his greeting happily, knowing that in less than a year the man whom she loved would he home again to claim her as his bride.
