The Wasp — 1914 — page 43: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page contains prose narrative rather than a political cartoon. It describes a man named Burnham cast adrift in a small boat after being "poisoned," "drugged," "robbed," and set adrift. The passage is literary and descriptive, focusing on his physical condition and a gull's observation of him. Without additional context about *The Wasp* magazine's specific issue date or Burnham's identity, I cannot definitively identify which historical figure this references. The dramatic language ("poisoned," "drugged," "robbed") suggests this may satirize a real incident or public figure, but the page alone doesn't provide sufficient information to identify the specific political or social reference intended.
