Owing to the weather conditions
work on the temporary vault at the
Naval Academy for the reception of
the body Of John Paul Jones is pro-
crossing slowly. The walls have been
practically completed and il will prob
ably be all completed within the next
few days.
Owing to the temporary nature of
the structure il is not very elaborate
in design, being particularly plain and
unostentatious. It is thought that the
body will not be kept in the vault for
more than six months as ia that length
of time il is expected the crypt in the
chapel will be completed.
