The "crew" falls in love with the captain's daughter. The old man is opposed to the match. Jack gets employment as a lighthouse keeper, marries the daughter and takes her with him to the light. When the bride arrives at her new home she discovers that instead of clothes in her trunk there are only two signal flags, which, flown together, mean "Am attacked, need help." Many months pass; the old captain is lonely, but still stubborn and unreconciled. Jack has written his mother announcing an impending event; telling her that one flag will mean a boy, two a girl. Two are flown on the great day. The captain discovers the signals and blows the bugle to arouse the village. The "enemy" is delivered to the arms of the grandfather; all is forgiven. Written by
