La pêcheuse de crevettes

A fisherwoman is seen going from her home to the seashore; while on her way she is accosted by a strange, well-dressed gentleman, who attempts to offer her indignity, but she teaches him quickly that he should not lose respect for people because they are not well dressed. In the next picture the man is seated at the seashore with a finely dressed lady, a little boy playing nearby. While they are thus engaged the lad wanders out on a stringpiece, far out into the water, and there he trips, falling into the billows. He floats about helplessly, unable to attract attention from the shore. Now his mother misses him, and soon she sees the tiny form far out, clinging desperately to a log, afloat. She and her male companion run about for aid excitedly, the latter fearful about trying a rescue. They come upon the shrimper woman, and she promptly goes to their aid. She strikes out among the huge breakers and reaches him after a hard struggle; then with her added bundle she swims back, where eager hands help her ashore. The incident closes and the last scene shows the shrimper couple at the door of their hovel, quietly engaged, one knitting and the other feeding chickens, when another couple, well dressed, come upon the scene. They have with them the boy whose life had been saved, and all three are warmly welcomed into the house by the fisher couple.
