Usually, these stories do not have much truth to them. One of the biggest fish stories in history was about a whale.In 1891, a ship hunting for whales in the South Atlantic Ocean found a very large whale. While the hunters were trying to kill the whale, it sank two smal l boats. One man drowned, and another man, James Bartley, was lost in the ocean. However, after the hunters finally killed the whale, they cut open the whale's stomach and found Mr Bartley inside. He was not dead!Several weeks later, Mr Bartley seemed to have gotten over his terrible exp erience. The only thing he could remember was that while he was inside the whal e, it was very hot. The liquid (液体) from the whale's stomach had turned all o f his skin snow white. Mr Bartley had to live with the effect from the whale fo r the rest of his life.Today, many people have heard about the strange experience of Mr Bartley an d do not buy it. Not one real fact has been found to prove that the events ever took place described by the sailors. No scientist or newspaper reporter was ev er able to talk to Mr Bartley, and all of the stories told in magazines about M r Bartley's experience were explained by other sailors on the boat. Mr Bartley was probably not even a real person at all.In 1928, after the captain (船长) of the whaling ship had died, one man ask ed the captain's wife about Mr Bartley's story. The wife said that no man who h ad sailed on her husband's ship was ever swallowed by a whale.However, this has not stopped James Bartley's story from being repeated, an d many people today still believe that it is true.41.
