There is insufficient material for two reels

This picture would have held interest better had it been shorter. There is insufficient material for two reels. There is a serious oversight in the selection of fishing schooners. In the first scene in which the vessel appears it is a two-master, with two jibs. As the boat sails out of the harbor it has three masts and four jibs and a topsail. The homecoming is on a two-masted boat. There may be three-masted fishing schooners down Maine way. The writer never saw one. However, there is no complaint to be lodged against the dramatic work. It is good. - The Moving Picture World, February 22, 1913
