What you’re looking at
This page contains only a brief text passage describing someone making a bed from an old sail and lying in the starboard scuppers (ship's drainage channels) of a vessel. There is no visible cartoon, illustration, or advertisement on this page. The passage appears to be narrative fiction or a story excerpt, possibly describing a sailor or stowaway's sleeping arrangements aboard ship. Without additional context about the surrounding story or the identity of the character referenced, it's unclear what satirical point, if any, this passage is meant to convey. The page may be a continuation from a previous installment of a serialized story in *The Wasp*.
