He did not attempt to draw any conclusion as to the exact type of sea animal which figured in the rescue of the asher man. He attempted only to show that there are monsters of the sea capable of swallowing a man with out dismemberment or damage, and so capable of returning him, to a more pleasant and distinctly safer environment. The Bible he point ed out, did not speak of Jonah's rescuer as a whale, but as a great fish." The use of the word "whale" in connection with Jonah, he said was an accommodation to the popular mind."
