Aboard the Connecticut, Lieut. Gray, who is in command of the forward turret of that ship, and Lieut. Ward, are active rivals for the young lady's favor. Gray has occasion to punish a Japanese Steward aboard the ship for some infraction of discipline, and places the man under arrest. In an effort to get even, the Japanese, when released, sneaks into the forward turret and disables the breech mechanism of one of the big guns, his idea being that when next the gun is discharged. Gray will probably be injured or killed, and he will thus get revenge. Lieut. Ward learns of the Japanese's treacherous action, but as he has become convinced that Gray has outdone him in Miss Morgan's favor, he keeps the information to himself. One day Gray saves Ward's life, as the result of an accident in which Ward is thrown into the water. Gray going overboard after him. Ward is carried to his stateroom in an unconscious condition. In the meantime, Clara and her father, with several other guests, have come aboard the ship, and are being shown around by Lieut. Gray and other officers. When taken into the gun turret, she expresses great interest in the mammoth guns and asks Lieut. Gray to load and fire one of the blank shells as a favor to herself. This request Gray is obliged to refuse, but Clara, who is accustomed to having her own way, appeals to the commanding officer of the ship, who gives Gray the necessary authority to oblige the young lady. Ward has recovered consciousness in his stateroom, and is told that Gray has saved his life. He learns also that Miss Morgan is on board in the forward turret, with Gray, and that they are about to fire the big gun. Realizing that this will probably cause the death of the entire party. Ward springs from his bed, rushes up the companionway and down the deck to the turret arriving just in time to prevent the gun from being fired. Startled at Ward's manner, Gray hastily examines the breech of the gun and discovers what has been done, and accuses Ward of being a party to the treacherous action. Ward thereupon confesses the accident of his guilt, and at the intercession of Clara. Gray not only forgives his enemy, but promises him that what has transpired shall ever remain a secret between the three. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
