Cal Cooper, another suitor, is a robust sailor lad. Though Bessie loves Bob she dismisses him in disgust, after finding him in a drunken stupor on the beach. Captain Conrad, Bessie's godfather, watches her with loving eyes and seeing her failing health, takes her on a sea voyage. Bob, while drunk, is shanghaied and shipped on Conrad's vessel. Then begins the regime of abuse for Bob by the mates and sailors of the ship. Bessie will not own that she knows him, thinking the treatment may make a man of him. Her theory proves the right one, for he licks both mates, takes the office of first mate, and when the ship catches fire, puts it out and brings it safely into port. See less
