PLAN OF THE SHAFTS SUNK AND GALLERIES EXCAVATED IN THE SEARCH FOR THE BODY OF
JOHN PAUL JONES.

The shafts are indicated by letters in the order in which they were sunk; the galleries excavated are indicated by cross timbering; the rays from the ends of some of the galleries denote soundings for leaden coffins with iron bars, but the soundings are not all indicated, since they were made from the ends and sides of all the galleries; all the leaden coffins are indicated by numerals in the order of finding them, the coffin of John Paul Jones being No. 3, but during the time occupied in the identification of the body 4 and 5 were discovered. The dimensions of the cemetery are approximately 120 by 130 feet.
