is a collection of 10000 books, which in
cludes some of the rarest volumes in
Washington. John Paul Jones' own per-
sonal memoirs in French, dated ,79S. are
on the same shelf with a Naval History
of Portugal in Latin. printed in the days
of Queen Elizabeth of England. text
book used in the British navy over two
hundred years ago, known as Sea Dia
logues. printed in London in 1888. tells of
the early methods of f1ogging and keel
hauling in the kings navy. In quaint
English it tells of the cruel way in which
the sailors were suspended from the yard
arms Of frigates and ducked with baskets
of bullets fastened about their necks as
a punishment for crime. If the crime was
a heinous one, keel-hauling was reSorted
to- This consisted Of hauling them ali the
way under the' keel of the vessel and up
on the other side of the ship and if the
sailor did not choke within an inch of his
life loud report from a gun was fired
right over his head to frighten him to
death while he was shaking the sea water
from his ears. So frequent were these
punishment the book states that the cap
tain would not have a fair wind if a few
of the boys were not keel-hauled every
Monday morning. Every flag known to
navies and commerce is pictured and de
scribed in a book printed in Dutch in
1888. as reference book in the Dutch
navy when that nation was one of the
