Apparently Davy's married life is not particularly pleasant. One would gather from this lively and altogether humorous picture that she possessed the characteristics of a Nantippe materially enhanced both by nature and practice. At any rate, the domestic port becoming intolerable because of the numerous storms that constantly arise, Davy departs and is lost for ten years. Meanwhile, Capt. Bragg decides that the excellent looking Annie has pined sufficiently long in widow's weeds and mates up with her. And then the pent up fury of a decade bursts forth and rages around his devoted head until he wishes that he, too, were consorting with the mermaids in ocean's darkest depths. At this juncture Davy reappears, and when he discovers the state of affairs the two arrange a humorous getaway, and probably now are enjoying the comparative calm of ocean tempests, far removed from the continuous exhibition of temper to which they had been subjected. It is useless, almost, to attempt to give a description of this picture. It must be seen to obtain a full comprehension of its fun and the consummate action of all the characters. - The Moving Picture World, November 5, 1910
