The girls of the island take a fancy to him, which displeases the men, and they try to put him out of the way, but only succeed in getting hurt themselves. Finally they do catch him napping, and he is put in a cage to be offered as a sacrifice to the volcano on the island. The girls release him. He finds out that they are afraid of fire, and as the only thing that has been saved from the ship is a keg of powder and a couple of signal rockets, he has an idea. After he has exploded the powder and set off the rockets, they of the island think that he is the master of the volcano. All rush towards him to worship him. He thinks they are going to assault him and runs into the water. He wakes to find out that he has been asleep on a barge and has fallen into the water.
