What you’re looking at

This page from *The Wasp* contains only text—no visible cartoon or illustration. It's a narrative passage from what appears to be a serialized story titled "The Wasp," describing a military operation: a man in disguise aboard a frigate plans to prevent someone named James from being taken alive, while cutters secretly enter Bottle Harbor at night to attack a white schooner and stone houses ashore. The attack begins with a pistol shot, and a character named Alexander notably refuses to participate in the assault. Without additional context, the specific historical or political references remain unclear. This may be satirical fiction or commentary on a particular military event, but the precise subject cannot be determined from this text alone.
