The Wasp — 1914 — page 65: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page contains prose narrative rather than a political cartoon. The text describes a violent maritime incident: a character named Burnham strikes a sleeping sailor with a bottle, then flees in a small boat with a boy named Todd, pursued by crew members with torches and oars. The passage appears to be from a serialized fiction story rather than satirical content. Without additional context about which issue of *The Wasp* this is from or what story this excerpt belongs to, I cannot identify the historical or political references it may contain. The narrative focuses on action and suspense rather than commentary on public figures or social issues typical of the magazine's satirical content. The specific date and story title would be necessary to interpret any deeper meaning.
