He fears even the good offices of the Widow Marlin, who assists him in keeping his home neat and tidy. The night is dark and stormy. The captain sits before the fireplace, meditating. A cry for help is heard. Hastily drawing on his rubber boots, putting on his oilskin coat and hat, he rushes to the beach just as the boat, filled with rescuers, is making its way to the sinking vessel. He shouts encouragement, fires the signal of approaching help and awaits the return of his brave companions. While pacing the sands, he catches sight of a raft which carries a small child out amid the breakers. Plunging into the foaming sea he tows the raft nearer the shore, lifts the little baby from it, and takes it to his home. The love of the little girl disperses his gloom and softens his heart, reunites him with his friends, bringing an element of happiness and contentment into his life.
