The Fatal Cradle on the Adventure at Sea
A 500 ton ship bound from London to Australia carries cabin passengers and harsh steerage. A mutiny of suspicion erupts over a pregnant woman and a family of seven, leading Captain Gillop and doctor Jolly to secretly decide which baby belongs to which mother, weighing each infant to settle the custody. After tense plotting and moral drama, the captain’s weight-based solution assigns the two infants to the two mothers, leaving both families relieved as the vessel nears port.
