Mildred Bracken and Francis Ford in Linked by Fate (1912)

A minister and his daughter, Flora, John, mate of the ship, and a few sailors are the sole survivors of a disastrous wreck. The little rowboat in which they are saved washes them ashore on a barren island, where the sailors dig for themselves and the mate endeavors to look after Flora and her father. In their search for food along the shore the sailors find a box of whiskey, which they hail with gladness and are quick to consume. Drunk, they make an insulting attack on Flora, which John, their mate, is able to quell only by the use of his revolver. The mutineers make their escape in the only boat, leaving John, Flora and her father stranded. In vain do they signal passing steamers. The minister, near death from long privation, requests John to marry Flora and care for her. He performs the ceremony with his dying breath. Some days later the boat in which the sailors made their escape is again washed ashore, and John sets to work repairing it for his and his wife's departure. Meanwhile Flora finds his diary, in which she discovers a passage addressed to "Dearest Evelyn," and fearing that John is already married, she decides to free him. Throwing her hat and coat into the water, she hides in the interior of the island. John believes her drowned and departs without her. When near death Flora is rescued by a passing steamer, which lands her in San Pedro, where she secures a position as a milliner. Five years elapse. John is back home in San Pedro with his sister, Evelyn. He realizes more and more that he loved Flora, and when, through the ordering of a hat by Evelyn, he comes face to face with Flora, great is his joy. But Flora shrinks from him, believing Evelyn to be his wife. John then explains to Flora and the two are united a second time.
