Later, he makes arrangements with the mate, Bill Jones, to set the boat on fire, enabling him to collect the insurance. In return he promises Bill his daughter, Nell, in marriage. Nell elopes with Captain Tom and is out to sea before her father learns of her marriage. He is grief stricken to think that he will be the means of his daughter's death, but has no way of reaching the boat. Bill sets the Molly Ann afire, locks Captain Tom in a closet, takes Nell in the lifeboat with him and they are later rescued and brought home to Nell's father. Believing that Captain Tom is dead, Bill now tries to keep John Farrell to his bargain to marry Nell. Nell protests and Farrell tells Bill to go ahead and expose their secret, but he will not let Nell sacrifice herself, as she has suffered enough. Just at this moment Captain Tom comes in and shows the note that John Farrell has written Bill, disclosing their infamy. He tells Bill that he will keep the secret for his wife's sake, but for him to leave town at once before he is tempted to kill him. An old sailor, who has been with Captain Tom, overhears the conversation, kills Jones, and throws him over the cliff into the ocean.Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
