293:...aber wie kan ein Stük bei einem solchen Plane erträglich genant werden? Ein Lord Berkeley hat durch einen gewissen Bushy seinen Sohn verlohren. Wo aber, wie, wann und warum? das erfährt kein Mensch. Der Sohn kömt als Schifkapitän wieder, und wird von seinem Vater erkant. Wie er aber gerettet, wie er Schifkapitän geworden ist; wie er nun dahin kömt wo er seinen Vater antrift, ohne zu wissen, daß dieser da sei; das erfährt man wieder nicht. Ein junger Mensch, der sich Wild nent, der aber der Sohn jenes Bushy ist, kömt mit zwenen Freunden Wie aber und warum er dahin kömt; wie und wo er vorhero Berkleys Tochter, in der er und sie in ihn verliebt ist; gesehn hat, und dabei gar nicht weis daß ihr Vater und sie hier sind; das wird im ganzen Stücke nicht gesagt.

Holland; now Boyet demands revenge for the wound he then received. In Wild's presence, Boyet triumphantly reports to his father that he has abandoned the old Lord Bushy in a small boat on the high seas, dooming Bushy to almost certain death. Wild angrily challenges Captain Boyet to a duel. Shortly thereafter, Lady Kathrin reveals to the Berkleys Wild's true identity, which she has learned from La Feu.

The trio stop at an inn; staying there also are the party of the aged Lord Berkley, his sister Lady Kathrin, his daughter Jenny Caroline, and their servant Louise. Berkley, ten years earlier, lost his estate through the actions of his enemies; he suspects that the mastermind is his former friend, Lord Bushy.

Now the sea-captain Boyet arrives at the inn. Lord
Berkley recognizes Captain Boyet as his long-lost son Harry, who has been missing since the raid on the Berkley estate ten years ago. Meanwhile, Boyet (alias Harry Berkley) has a history with Wild (alias Karl Bushy), for whom he feels a spontaneous

In Act 5, Wild and Boyet (that is, Karl and Harry) fight. Boyet is wounded in the calf and reluctantly recognizes Wild's bravery. Then, Wild receives word from the captain's slave-boy that, with the help of the ship's lieutenant, he had secretly brought old Bushy back on board Boyet's ship and not

Wild and his friends meet the ladies of the

The old and the young

As Act 3 opens, Blasius and La Feu talk about Wild and the ladies. La Feu is still very enthusiastic about Lady
