Her father, captain of a tramp schooner, asks her to accompany him on a long cruise, but to gratify Hans, who is extremely jealous, she concludes not to go on the ship. As she is on her way back to tell him this, she stops and speaks with another fisherman, and Hans, seeing her, becomes at once insanely jealous, so that she capriciously reconsiders her plans and goes on the schooner. Her father and his crew are an evil lot, and everything is fish that comes to their nets. A young millionaire whose launch has become disabled drifts their way and they drag him aboard, and, after looting him, hold him up for ransom. His gallantry and his pitiless situation arouses the sympathy of the fair Hilda. She secretly shows him the way of escape and gives him a compass. He tells her be cannot steer by the compass and persuades her to take the boat and go with him. She takes him at his word and embarks in the night. The young people reach the shore, and the gallant gentleman insists that Hilda go to his home. He explains their adventure to the family, and then is much troubled, telling the father that he will have to marry the girl for saving his life. Hilda, however, is longing for her Hans, and the attraction of her fine environment having worn off, she announces one morning, "If you don't mind, I would like to return to my own home on the seashore." The young man, who thought he was making a sacrifice, is astonished, and his father is much relieved. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
