A Tender Rescue and a Winded Sailor’s Rise in New Orleans
In New Orleans a boastful seaman helps a stranded young woman cross a muddy street by carrying a plank from a carpenter’s shop to form a dry path. The act earns him a promotion to second mate inside a year, as he rises from street-swept luck to respected officer aboard a grand ship, with a poignant ending as he courts the captain’s daughter and marries into wealth.
