shaft was -four feet deep.

superimposed on IL.
The leaden coffin was opened in
the presence of Ambassador Porter
and others. The body was found

immersed In alcohol. II was wrapp-
ed in a sheet with packing of straw
and hay Those present were imme-
diately struck by the resemblance of
the head to that of the medallions
and busts of the admiral.
The coffin was taken to a medical
school where distinguished profess
sors of anthropology and recognized
authorities on such investigations
made a thorough examination identi-
fication. Measurements and other
facts were brought out by the inves-
tigation made the identification pos
tive. The body will be deposited in
the receiving vault of the American
church until Ambassador Porter can
learn the opinion of the government
concerning the most appropriate
means of transporting II to the Unit
ed States and giving fitting sepulcher
to the body of the illustrious sailor
whose place of burial had so long
remained a mystery.
