One of the htrangest investigations
of all 1 imes is beinj; carried on
here by the Kev. John Ambrose
Wilson, an alumnus of Queen Col

The Kev. Mr. Vilnn is Fceking

Since the publication of an arti

He maintains (bat Jmiah was
not Ihe only person swallowed
.by a whale. He cited two other

"I wouldn't advise anyone else
to try to book pa.usaxe on a
whale." Mr. Wilson Ha id. "He
would find the ma miliars stoni-,
ach a pri-tty hot place. The heat
wit in the whale has been esti

" hen J unes Hartley, one of
the crew of the whab r 'Star of
the KaM, was swallowed by a
whale in 1S!H. near the. 1'alkiand
Islands, lie emerged the next day,
alter his shipmates had captured
the whale, with his hands, face ,
and neeji permanently blearhe I

by the whale's wastrie Juices. Hart
ley said, moreover" that the ter-,
i ifie heat in the whale-s bellv
seemed to deprive him of all vi

the Hew Mr. Wilson relies Is that
of Marshall Jenkins, related by 1
the iio.-ton Host Hoy in 1771.
Jenkins was swallowed by a sperm
w hale and (shortly afterward
thrown out upon the wreckaRe
of h s boat. He was bruised, but
