{"value"=>"On examination of a file of old papers in the Charleston Library, he found a paragraph in the South Carolina and American Gazette of Oct. 29, 1779, stating that Pulaski died at sea and that his funeral rites were performed at Charleston; a pamphlet printed in Baltimore in 1824 [Pulaski vindicated, by Paul Bentalou] gives an account of how the body was thrown overboard, but gives no reference to sustain the assertion; he concurs with Mr. Porcher in thinking that the expression \"funeral rites\" implies the presence of the dead body; as there was then no Roman Catholic church here, the one used must have been St. Michael's or St. Philip's; Mr. Porcher will examine the records."}
