    This two-reel war story is stronger in its scenic effects than in its story, the latter being just a little obscure in places. The combination of mountain and seacoast scenery is very attractive, however, and keeps the offering in front rank. The "Gray Sentinel" is a lighthouse, around which much of the action centers. One of the young men in love with the girl is a traitor. The battle scenes are strong, and the struggle on the tower exciting. A good release. - The Moving Picture World, April 12, 1913
