In fact, he can't sleep on account of thinking so much of Morocco, and finally decamps one silent moonlit night in a tiny launch to cross the vast Mediterranean to the African Continent. After much water suffering, the bold juvenile buccaneer sights African soil. After landing he surveys toward the interior with his telescope and descries a dusky, dark Ethiopian camp of native Moroccans. Watching his opportunity, he holds up a young native just his size and confiscates his garments. To make his disguise still more perfect Jimmie is forced to blacken his face with a pigment he had thoughtfully brought from the European side. Of course he's bright enough to present himself as a dumb negro, and further ingratiates himself to the tribe by getting them drunk. At this point his telescope reveals a caravan in peril of a marauding attack. He leaps to the field of action with a lone cannon, turns himself artillery man and routs the enemy. Of course, the travelers thank the little hero, and, much to their mutual surprise, Jimmie recognizes his mother and father in the party he rescued. You bet they are proud of their baby boy and shower a rain of kisses on him, even though the dusky makeup dirties their own faces.

The woman, wife of the captain, is slain before his eyes while defending her baby boy. LaFette decides to adopt the little fellow. Twelve years pass and the boy, now a man, deplores his lot, finding consolation only in the tintype portrait of his dead mother.
