The vessel is reported lost and financial reverses place her aged parents at the mercy of an old money-lender. With all hope gone of ever seeing her lover, Ethel sacrifices herself and marries the old man. The sailor is then seen perishing from hunger and exposure, battling with the huge waves which finally crush the little dingy. He is rescued by the life-saves in a launch and revived. As quickly as possible he makes his way to his sweetheart's home, and a pathetic scene takes place as Ethel comes in to visit her parents and she realizes that she has shut out forever the great love of her life.
