Disciples of the "odT Time Religion Clash and the 1cono

Swallowed By Whale and Afterwards Recovered Brand
ed as False

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Halifax, n. S., March 14.-Again the
higher critics and the disciples of the
"old-time religion" have clashed, and
again the iconoclasts have won vic
tory. Captain Killam of Yarmouth.
skipper of the good ship Star of the
East, is the unwilling Cause of the dis
comfiture of the defenders of the true
faith. The story of Jonah's experience
with the whale is the point around
which this particular religious contro-
versy has revolved, and Cap'n Killam
has destroyed one of the chief props
of the believers in the literal truth Of
the incident. 1t came about in this
wise:
About decade ago veracious mar
liner, James BARLEY by name, appeared
in London and told remarkable story
of having been swallowed by whale
while employed as sailor on the
whaler Star of the East At first Bart
ley and his tale were unheeded, but
he was so persistent and apparently
earnest that the newspapers finally in
terviewed him and published the story
under flaming heads. BARLEY became
a popular hero in London, and he was
wined and dined and exploited by dis
tinguished scientists and theologians,
who looked upon him in the light of
living proof of the literal truth of the
exploit of Jonah. The higher critics
and materialistic scientists, who had
relegated the Jonah tale to the realm
of myths and allegories and had de-
clared that no whale or fish could pos
sibly swallow a man, retired abashed
before the eloquent BARLEY, who re-
lated his experiences in the whales
belly with great wealth of detail and
apparent candor. The story was ca
bled to newspapers in all parts of the
world and created as great a sensation
in America and on the continent as it
did in England. So seriously was it
considered by the theologians that the
learned DR.. Koenig quoted it in his ar
ticle on Jonah in Hastings Dictionary
of the Bible" A few years later Bart
ley left England and his present
whereabouts are unknown. 1t is now
evident that with his disappearance
England has lost one of its most fertile
creators of fiction.
Now comes Cap'n Killam of the Star
of the East, and, being duly sworn, de-
poses on oath that he was the COM
mander of that ship at the time of
Bartley's alleged exploit with the
whale, and for many years previous;
that no such man as James BARLEY
was ever member of the crew of that
vessel, and that no such incident as
BARLEY described ever took place. Kill
lam's story is little belated, due to
the fact that he has only recently
heard of BARLEY and his whale story.
He was hugely amused when informed
that Bartley's yarn had been taken
seriously, and made some unflattering
remarks regarding the credulity of
