Plot:

Captain Merlo and Malteno are joint owners of the good ship "Swallow." They carry a cargo of dynamite, which is against the law, and therefore make every effort to conceal the fact from the crew. One of the latter is Pietro, an old school friend of Venella, the captain's daughter. These two share a mutual liking, which later events only tend to strengthen. During the voyage Malteno declares his love for Venella, who repulses him. Furious, he dashes down into the captain's cabin, thinking to influence her father in his favor, and in his haste upsets a lamp, which, falling on the floor, sets the vessel afire. The flames gradually approach the place where the dynamite is stored, and the crew cast themselves overboard. Venella insists upon staying by her father's side, despite the efforts of Pietro, who attempts to persuade her to accompany him on the raft which he has constructed. Captain Merlo, however, realizing that his ship is doomed, shoots himself. There is, therefore, nothing left but for Venella to accompany Pietro, so they launch their little raft and trust themselves to the mercy of the waves. They have just reached a safe distance, when, with a deafening crash, the vessel is rent apart. The dynamite has exploded. For two days they are drifting about on the ocean, and after suffering dreadful agony, Pietro and Venella are at last rescued off the coast of Holland. Here they are cared for by the kindly fisher-folk, and soon after they are married, when they set sail again for their native home. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis
