The love story of the Maine coast given on this film is very interesting and commendable. Rosie, the belle of the fishing village, gave two roses away. Each of the two brothers got one. They were jealous of each other. The younger one, when they were out at sea, found the rose she gave to the older one and threw it overboard. Later, out in the dory, there is a fight for the other rose, and the dory is swamped. The older brother swims to the shore. The younger one is rescued by the father and his crew. Each supposes the other dead. The older one tells the girl and discovers that she was truly in love with the younger. The father with the younger brother reaches the house. The lad can't bear to go in. On the beach he finds his brother. Each hardly believes his senses. Together they find the girl, who is weeping. The older brother keeps the rose, but the younger brother gets the kiss. It was promised to each. The first scene of this picture seems cramped; it has an unnatural, stagy look. If a bit more background had been shown, it might have had more atmosphere and looked more like life and less like a photograph. - The Moving Picture World, September 23, 1911
