The Smugglers (1911) Online

At the opening of our story Old Tom and Billie are off for a two days' fishing trip. Rose, Old Tom's daughter, goes along the beach to gather mussels. Just ahead of Rose hidden by monster boulders is a party of smugglers surreptitiously landing a party of Chinese. Rose unexpectedly comes across the smugglers and is captured. Rose is dragged to the smugglers' rendezvous, where her death is planned, as the smugglers fear she will inform the revenue officers against them. During the night Rose escapes. Writing a note on a small piece of paper she places it in a bottle and throws it out to sea. Old Tom and Billie while drawing in their net pull up the bottle, read the message, put on all sail and overtake the revenue cutter. The officer in charge heading a party of husky sailors makes a safe landing in the smugglers' cove and effects the capture of the complete gang.

The best scene shows a little group of sailors making toward a sloop rocking on the waves just beyond the breakers. Mother and daughter have bidden them good-bye. The daughter, Rose, later is seen gathering mussels and is raptured by the smugglers to keep her from letting the authorities know that they are bringing in Chinese. The picture tells in a very unconvincing way how Rose communicates with her friends and how, with the help of a revenue cutter, she is saved. It has a fine picture of fishermen handling a seine net; otherwise, although not without instruction, it doesn't rise very much above commonplace. It might have been made more speedy. - The Moving Picture World, October 28, 1911
