When her younger sister is married, Seth is still more persistent, but she just as persistently holds to her resolution to stand by her mother. Seth gets angry and goes to sea. The vessel in which he sails is wrecked and he manages to save himself and a little boy whose parents with all the others on board, are lost. Lavinia reads a newspaper account of the wreck saying that all hands on the ship were lost. She grieves for the loss of her lover and her mind is ever with those on the deep and she always keeps a light in the window which looks out upon the sea as a sort of a memoriam and a beacon to all who sail upon its waters. Twenty years have passed and many changes have taken place; Lavinia's mother has died; Seth has been prosperous and is now a retired captain; the child he saved from the wreck, he has adopted as his own son. Lavinia's younger sister has a family and her daughter, now a young lady, comes to live with her aunt Lavinia to be as a companion and daughter to her. Seth, about this time, longs to go back to the scenes of his boyhood and see how the old place looks; he takes his son with him. He recognizes Lavinia's old home and all its pleasant associations and thinks he would like to see who lives there now. He finds his old sweetheart still in possession, makes himself known, they renew the old flame and agree to get married. Lavinia's niece now appears with Seth's boy and they too are very fond of each other. Seth and Lavinia are now married and living at the old home where their early courting was done.
