What you’re looking at
This page presents prose fiction rather than a political cartoon. The narrative describes a man named Burnham rescuing an unconscious young woman from a beach. She awakens disoriented, asking where she is and who he is. Burnham identifies himself as a stranger in St. Kitts offering assistance. The woman corrects him: she's on the island of Nevis (not St. Kitts), and identifies herself as the governor's daughter. Her statement trails off incomplete mid-request. Without additional context or visible illustrations on this page, the specific satirical point remains unclear. The scenario might reference a real incident or public figure of the era, but the text alone doesn't reveal the intended political or social commentary that *The Wasp* readers would have recognized.
