Description

In the top panel a small boat carrying one person and four cannons is hit by an explosion. In the second panel the man is searching for an unknown target while at sea. The lower panel shows the man rowing his repared boat loaded with a torpedo towards a larger and heavily armed ship.

A critic of American imperialism, political cartoonist John T. McCutcheon may be critiquing the American gunboat presence along the Yangtze River in China during the first half of the twentieth century.
