Paul Jones at Rest on American Soil 
Annapolis, Md., July 24

In a simple brick vault in the grounds of the Naval Academy today lie the 
remains of John Paul Jones, with the simple ceremony attending the landing 
of the body from the cruiser, Brooklyn.  The Naval Expedition authorized to 
accomplish its transfer from the Paris cemetery, which had been its place of 
rest for more than a century is completed.  The formal National reception of 
the body, with appropriate exercises is reserved until it shall be placed in a 
splendid Naval chapel now being erected near the site of the temporary 
vault.

The work today consisted of the removal of the body from the Brooklyn to 
the Naval tug, Standish, from that to a float moored to the shore where 
stalwart jackies placed it in a hearse which was escorted by an imposing 
cortege of marines, jackies and midshipmen in which the French nation 
participated with a landing party of officers and men from the French cruisers 
Gurien**del a Gravier.  The vault containing the remains of John Paul Jones 
is draped in crepe.  Over his coffin which is visible through the broad grated 
doors at either end are spread American flags, stirred gently by the breeze.  
Outside paces an armed sentry.
