Plot: Few in the fishing village noted that the old shipbuilder's little bare-legged lass had become, overnight, a wonderful being, beautiful and shy as a seabird. One who delighted in the transformation was the young fisherman who never looked at other girls. Another was Tarrant, the ship owner; he coveted her with all his crooked soul. He took to dropping in, of evenings, at the little cottage beside the shipyard, and the things he whispered turned the old man's head. "If she marries me," was his theme, with a world of promises which he may have intended to keep. But the girl would have none of him, even after her father, in fury, ordered her to receive the ship owner as her betrothed. Separated from her fisher lad, she became ill. The old doctor, wise in the ways of women, declared that one thing alone could save her life. Panic-stricken, her father ran and brought the fisherman. With a cry of joy she felt her lover's arms once more about her, and in that rapture her spirit passed. When they would have come near her, the grief-stricken lover turned furiously upon them, and they slunk away, leaving him with his dead.
