Next morning he reads of his wife being shipwrecked and, upon calling at the dock, he hears that all on board were lost. Paul leaves his boarding house for a nearby lumber camp. He meets Clara Jackson at her father's place and asking her whether he can be put up for the night, Clara induces her father to let Paul stay. Clara is attracted by the stranger and the next morning after breakfast she wins over her father to give him a position. Later, as Paul is working at the saw mill, Clara and he stroll off to the water's edge where Paul tells her of his wife's death. Being in sympathy with him she tries to make Paul forget his grief. In the interim, Paul's wife has been picked up partly demented after an all-night struggle in the water. Jim Croft, a fisherman, brings her to his hut where she is attended by his wife. As the days pass, Paul's wife regains her senses and writes a letter to her husband. A strong love has sprung up between Paul and Clara and while strolling along in the woods, Paul proposes and is accepted. In the meantime, the wife's letter has been returned to her. Feeling this blow, she decides to go to hunt for Paul. Her search is long, but accidentally she picks up a newspaper and reads of her husband's wedding announcement to Clara. Reaching the Jackson's home, she meets Clara in her wedding dress and showing her the newspaper account asks for Paul. Clara, feeling that she is about to lose Paul, pushes her outdoors and chases her off the grounds. Standing in the doorway. Clara sees Paul's wife fall exhausted across the railroad tracks and at the same time espies an approaching train. Clara decides to rescue the wife and is just in time as the train comes rushing by. Bringing her near the house she meets Paul and her father in a buggy ready to leave with Clara for the wedding. Paul is happily surprised to be fondly embraced by his wife.
