The natives are beaten, and their witch calls down a curse on the captain. In port Briggs sells his opium cargo, becomes wealthy, and marries. In time, the captain's wife and child die, and his nephew Hal becomes a sailor. In a drunken brawl, Hal steals the captain's savings and arouses the fear of his sweetheart, Laura. In a battle, Hal is wounded with a poisonous Malay sword, and Dr. Philiol succeeds in mixing the indicated remedy just in time to save his life. After a long illness, Hal reforms, regains the love of his aged uncle, and wins the hand of Laura. Written by AFI See less
