The Sea Gull (1914)
"Sea Gull," an Indian maiden, is wooed and won by "Panther," a stalwart young brave. They live happily together for many years. Their little son, whom they call "The Raven," grows tall and strong, but his mother ages quickly. She is no longer beautiful and Panther ignores her, dreaming of the young and handsome "Red Fox," whom he had met across the valley. One sad day, her lord and master brings the youthful Red Fox to his wigwam, and Sea Gull, seeing the girl's beauty, realizes she is hopelessly supplanted. Red Fox hates the Sea Gull, and does everything possible to make her life miserable. Some months later, the two women rig up a swing on the edge of a high cliff, overlooking the shore. Red Fox tells Sea Gull to get in and she will swing her out over the water. Sea Gull hesitates, but when the younger woman taunts her with being afraid, she gets in. Overcome with hatred and jealousy, Red Fox cuts the rope and Sea Gull plunges over the edge, fortunately landing a short distance down, on a narrow ledge. Red Fox, thinking she has fallen to the bottom of the cliff, goes to the wigwam. Panther and his son miss Sea Gull and ask Red Fox of her whereabouts, but she sullenly pretends ignorance. The Raven searches in vain for her. He falls asleep on a rock near the shore and sees her in a dream, lying on the cliff side. Calling his father, they rescue the Sea Gull. As they are carrying her back along the shore, Red Fox, who has been watching them, falls over the cliff and is instantly killed. Later we see them seated on the shore, with the sea gulls circling about them, as Panther folds his blanket tenderly about Sea Gull and their son, and clasps them in his loving embrace.
