Starved Out (1913)
Billie was a very nice young man indeed; Helen thought so. The chaperon started all the trouble. When Billie and the boys came to see Helen and the other girls aboard the houseboat, the chaperon showed the boys very plainly that she liked Herbert Westlake much better than any of them. The chaperon's preference for a millionaire was naturally the cause of some irritation to the boys in their camp nearby. Under the able generalship of Billie they laid plans which eventually resulted in the worthy lady's defeat. On the night following their inhospitable reception the houseboat's dinghy mysteriously disappeared. Next morning when the cook desired to go ashore for provisions no small boat could be found. By swimming ashore, Helen managed to intercept the grocer who visited the boys' camp. Just as she had given him a large order, Billie appeared. Whether it was on account of something he said, or just because of natural buoyancy, it is quite certain that the girls were not nearly as much concerned as the chaperon when the grocer's boat was accidentally upset by one of the boys the next afternoon. With a lingering death apparently staring her in the face, the hungry chaperon was obliged to haul down her colors, or rather to hoist a signal of distress. When Billie came aboard with a heavy lunch basket, she was so glad to see him that she kissed him.
