What you’re looking at

This page contains **narrative fiction**, not political satire or commentary. It depicts a romantic scene between a woman and a man named Burnham, discussing a previous relationship with the late Captain Hicks. The woman, who was taken from a ship a year ago by Hicks, expresses her affection for Burnham while acknowledging Hicks's past infidelities. The preceding passage describes a sailing vessel ("a beautiful thing of living white") visible on the horizon. **No political cartoon or satirical content is present on this page.** It appears to be serialized literary fiction typical of magazines of this era, likely occupying space between advertisements and satirical articles elsewhere in the publication.
