“james bartley—1870–1909. a modern jonah.” this story was headlined in newspapers and found its way into numerous other publications, both secular and religious, the latter including serious bible commentaries on the jonah story. but did it really happen? sperm whales are certainly capable of swallowing a human being because they gulp their prey whole. in 1955 a 405-pound squid was removed intact from the belly of one and on another occasion a sixteen foot long shark was found. edward b. davis, a professor at messiah college in grantham, pennsylvania, decided to check it out. he extensively researched the story and summarized his findings in an 1891 article in “the american scientific affiliation.” records showed that star of the east, british registry, john b. killam, master, set sail from new zealand in december 1890 and arrived at new york in april 1891, so she could have been near the falklands in february. but otherwise, he found no credible evidence to support the story. the ship was not a whaler, and no james bartley was on the crew list. moreover, no london hospital was able to confirm reports that any patient had been treated for the effect of gastric juices on his skin. the final and most damaging evidence was provided by captain killam’s widow who, in a letter, published in 1907 in the expository times, said: there is not one word of truth to the whale story. i was with my husband all the years he was in the star of the east. there was never a man lost overboard while my husband was with her. that sailor has told a great sea yarn.

A partially-submerged coral outcrop, running roughly parallel to the shore and separated from it by deep water. bartley’s ordeal: in february 1891, james bartley, an apprentice seaman, was on his first voyage aboard the whaler star of the east. near the falkland islands, the lookout spotted a sperm whale and two boats were launched. one succeeded in harpooning the animal, but the second was upended by the creature’s thrashing tail and its crew tossed into the water. one drowned body was recovered, but bartley had disappeared. the dead whale was hauled to the side of the ship, where the crew set to work carving up the carcass by lantern light. next morning they winched the stomach on deck and slit it open. to their amazement, bartley was inside, alive but raving. by the end of the third week he was sufficiently recovered to recount being engulfed by total darkness and slipping along a smooth passage until he came to an open space. he felt slimy stuff around him and realized he’d been swallowed by the whale. there was enough trapped air to 35 bartley’s breathe, but the animal’s high body heat sucked the energy out of him and he passed out. after reaching england bartley was treated at a london hospital, and the only lasting effect of his fifteen hours inside the whale’s stomach was losing all the hair on his body, while his skin was bleached to the color of parchment (some accounts say he also lost his eyesight). he never made another ocean trip, but settled down as a cobbler in his native city of gloucester, england. his tombstone in a local churchyard is said to carry a brief account of his experience and a
