story OF the prophet Jonah. swallowed py
a whale and cast up after remaining three
days In his belly.
I'VE shall proceed 10 quote few pas
saces from the story Itself. as told In the
BIBLE:
Il. Is. SO they took up Jonah. and cast
him forth into the sea: and the sea ceas
ed from her raging.
III. Now the Lord had prepared
great fish 20 swallow up JONAH Anu
Jonah was I'm the beiy OF the iiSh 'hree
days and three nights.
III. !. Then Jonah prayed unto the ho'u
his God out OF the fsh's belly.
40. And the Lord spake unto the hsn,
and II vomi1ed out Jonah upon the ory
land"
1--WE DO not pretend that this tale has
In It nothing OF the supernatural or MI
raculous. Jesus Himself took care to re-
mind the Jews, on a memorable OCCASION
that the story OF the prophet Jonah pre-
figured His own death and resurrection.
but we do assert that the miracle has
In II nothing impossible, absurd. or IN d
word. contrary 10 the special teachings OF
science on this subject.
Until the present time. science has re-
manned silent on the subject; the story
OF a man swallowed by a sea-mohs'e.
and cast up alive seemed AT ledst an ouu
ore, and certain commentators were OF
the opinion that we have here as IN Ger
tain other different biblical passages
nothing but an ailegory."
NJ Ccurbet remarks here. in foot-note
that the Church has never condemned
this manner OF Interpretation, which was
that OF many commentators Of the early
Church. Thus some have thought that
the whales belly IS a figure OF speech
for the depths Of the ocean, while others
regarded the name FISH" as being tha'
Of a peculiar kind OF boat, used perhaps
In the whale-hshery. But, according 10
our author. We have no longer TO resort
10 hypothesis OF this kind. He goes on as

THE discoveries Of the Prince Of Mon

hoisted alongside the ship and the work
OF cutting II up began. A day and night
were devoted to this task. When II was
ended the stomach OF the whale was
opened. What was the surprise OF the
whalemen to find in It their lost comrade,
James BARLEY. unconscious, but alive.
"They had much trouble in reyiving
him. For several days he was delirious
and could not speak an intelligent word.
Not till three weeks h..1 elapsed did he
recover his reason and was he able to
narrate his impressions.
"T remember very well, said he, the
moment when the whale threw mo into
the air. Then I was swallowed and found
myself enclosed I'm n firm, slippery chan
mel. whose contractions forced me con-
tinually downward. This lasted only an
instant Then | found myself in very
large sac. and by feeling about. j realized
that / had been swallowed by whale.
and that l was in his stomach. l could
still breathe, though with much difficulty.
7 had q feeling of insupportable heat, and
IL seemed as if 1 were being boiled alive.
1.-The horrible thought that | was
doomed to perish in the whales belly tor
tured me- and my anguish was intensi-
fed by the calm and silence that reigned
about me. Finally l lost the conscious
ness Of my frlghtfh situation
James BARLEY, the English papers
add, is known TO be one of the most
hardy Of whalemen. But his experience
in the whales stomach was so terrible
that he was obliged to undergo treatment
in n London hospital on his return.
"Nevertheless. his general state OF
health was not seriously affected by this
accident. The only effect was that his
skin was. as IT were. tanned by the &C
ton Of the gastric Juice.
"The captain Of the Star OF the East
adds that cases where furious whales
have swallowed men are not rare, but
that this was the first time that he ever
saw the victim come out alive after his
experience" TRANSLATED for The Literary
