Having striven in vain to still the feeling that is growing in his heart, the physician stifles his conscience with the thought of her domestic unhappiness, and in an almost unreasoning anger against the man who apparently placed so little value upon her love. Finally, when the fisherman husband is away on a trip, the pair elope in a launch. During the storm which follows, the boat is capsized, and the doctor is finally rescued and revived, by the very man he was about to wrong. The latter, unconscious of the terrible crisis which affairs have reached, questions the doctor concerning the wife's condition. Then the working of the inner conscience became manifest. Rescued by another fishing party, the woman, as a result of her experience, lies at death's door. The tireless efforts of the grateful doctor alone can renew the spark of life, and although the doctor has relinquished the hope in his heart, when he leaves, it is in the full realization that the happiness which has since been denied her would now be here.
