Above his own name is written the name of "Norma," a daughter of Gyntsen, the aristocrat of the little village. Norma's father is a widower. He idolizes his daughter. Peter is a quiet, noble fellow, a fisherman, with the instincts of a poet and the rule of a king. He is not given to associating with his fellows, being of a retiring disposition. His natural timidity and shyness forbid him to make known his love for her and he worships her in silence. Rowland, a good-looking young fellow, a nephew of Bjornson, an old preacher, falls in love with Norma and is very much favored by Norma's father. Peter notices the increasing fondness of Norma for Rowland, but he is of too high a character to allow his jealousy to corrupt his manhood, and proves this, when Rowland, in exploring the mysteries of the Norwegian coast, enters a rocky cavern and is rescued by Peter from the quicksands into which the young fellow is fast disappearing. Again he shows his courage and manhood when Norma's father is robbed by Kitt, a villainous young fellow, whom he pursues, recovers the stolen jewels and restores them to Mr. Gyntsen. Peter, still hoping against hope that Norma might care for him, is walking along the seashore. He sees within the fresh outline of a heart, the names of Rowland and Norma. This is too much for his overburdened heart to bear. Making his way to the cavern of quicksands, he deliberately enters it and quickly disappears from sight, lost beyond all trace of recovery.
