In a rogue storm the Esmeralda shuddered and sank forward as a tramp steamer rammed her bow. Hollis and McCann risked their lives to rescue the imprisoned steward and the hidden girl, fighting water, wreckage, and collapsing bulkheads.
Seeley and Hollis fight the rising water aboard a flooded vessel to reach Vera. Seeley slips through collapsing furniture and uses improvised leverage to reach the door as water rises past Hollis at Vera's location. The trio works quickly to gain access before the hatch is sealed.
A submarine steamer rams a yacht. Hollis McCann and Miss Veral fight through a flooded cabin to reach the deck. They escape toward a dory, while Fosdick lies dead in a smashed boat as the Esmeralda drifts, leaving the survivors to face night and sea.
Two men and their charge flee the sinking yacht in a dory but face further peril as they proceed.

Between 150 and 200 women will drive military cars behind the French front. Women have sought enlistment since the war began and Club Feminin Automobile led the movement securing licenses. They must enlist for three months and comply with military rules, initially replacing ambulance drivers in sanitary sections before potentially taking other automobile duties.
A lieutenant tests a squad by asking how many men dig in a trench. A soldier replies thirty men and one officer, noting the officer is the only one not working. The anecdote ends with a lesson that haste harms results and deliberation can break records.
