The Wasp — 1914 — page 66: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This appears to be a narrative text page from *The Wasp* magazine, not a political cartoon. The passage describes a dramatic nighttime scene at sea: a character named Burnham rows a small boat toward a larger vessel (a brig) carrying a torch. When discovered, shots are fired—Burnham shoots out the torch and escapes by sailing away. By dawn, he reaches a green island. The text reads like fiction or serialized adventure storytelling rather than satire. Without additional context about the publication date or the broader narrative, I cannot identify what real historical event or political figure this might reference. The page contains no visible illustrations, caricatures, or explicit satirical commentary.
