Edward, his elder brother, takes the blame and is ordered from home. Unable to secure other employment, Edward ships aboard the steamship "Columbia." Before sailing he writes his mother to this effect. Edward meets Lillian, and the two become friends. Fire breaks out in mid-ocean. Edward does heroic work to allay the panic, but almost all the passengers perish by fire or water. Edward saves the life of Lillian. The two are picked up by Second Officer Bradford, in charge of one of the cutters. After many days, the boat drifts ashore on an island. Privation has killed all the people in the boat except Lillian, Edward and Bradford. News of the disaster reaches the Langdons. David, remorse-stricken, confesses his guilt. Five years pass and the three on the island have reverted to the primitive. Bradford's mind is giving way as hope of rescue vanishes. The sailor loves Lillian madly, but she in turn loves Edward. The latter gives no indication of his love for her, and the girl is in despair. Bradford makes an attempt to embrace Lillian and is driven off by Edward. The girl pleads with Edward to spend the night in her shelter, fearing Bradford's return. Edward declines, saying he will watch outside. Bradford returns that night. Again repulsed, he goes mad. Climbing to the top of a high cliff, he leaps to his death. The next morning a ship is sighted, and a rescue party makes for shore. Lillian then learns of Edward's love for her. Hand-in-hand, they await their rescuers and the dawn of a new life. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
