It has been 15 years since Chris has sent 5-year-old Anna to live with
relatives in St. Paul, and now she is coming back. Anna needs
rest and a place to stay so Chris moves Marthy off his barge.
One night, going down the coast, they rescue 3 survivors of
a boat sinking. The big strong Scot, named Matt, takes a liking
to Anna and they go to Coney Island when they get back to land.
Matt decides that he will marry Anna but Chris says no - as
does Anna. Every male member of Chris's family has died at sea
and Chris wants Anna to have children and a house on land.This
causes friction between Chris and Matt so Anna sits them down
and tells both of them the truth about her miserable life in
Minnesota and the secret she has been carrying. |
