Rosella was swallowed by the Whale while swimming in the sea. She had to hurry up and escape from the Whale's mouth because she would die from the stomach acid and the noxious fumes. She escaped from the Whale's mouth when she used a peacock feather to tickle the Whale's uvula, and the Whale then gagged her out. She found a bottle in the Whale's mouth and later kept it. There was also a skeleton in the boat that the Whale ate, which indicated that the Whale must of swallowed boats and sailors.
