With Eyes So Blue and Tender (1913)

Jim Calvert, a young seaman, is in love with June, the daughter of the lighthouse keeper. Caleb Hauworth, and she reciprocates his affections. Rough-mannered Silas Crag, however, thinks that he can win the girl. Silas, finding June alone one day, makes his usual advances, but Jim comes up and tosses him over the cliff to the sands below. Silas is furious and vows vengeance. Afterward Jim gets a commission and goes to sea, and on the long cruise and visits to other ports for the nonce he forgets the little girl at home, and in a blundering way becomes the victim of an adventuress, Inez Valleau, who marries him when he is half doped. Faithful June has gone into a decline with much waiting. Jim's vessel finally comes home and is shipwrecked on the rocks of his own shore. June, thinking him true to her, frantically tries to reach him and is lost in the undertow. Silas, who has grown gentle in his comforting ministry during her trials, tries to rescue her, but is also drowned. Jim is rescued, but would have preferred death.
