It is probable that the principal feature in this film with most audiences will be the half-drowned man clinging to a spar and his rescue by the girl. That they were lovers was made plain before, but her father objected and undertook to compel her marriage with another man. The wreck upon the shores of the island where she lived and the casting up by the sea of her lover renewed the attachment and naturally it wasn't long before they went to the mainland where the ceremony was performed. The picture will be popular because it shows the triumph of the two lovers over the objections and adverse circumstances. - The Moving Picture World, October 7, 1911
