The advantages of this way of making the hitch are that in the first stage (Fig. 82) the rope is very conveniently carried in the field while walking, and that the last stage (Fig. 83) is instantly made from the first.

The advantages of this way of making the hitch are that in the first stage (Fig. 82) the rope is very conveniently carried in the field while walking, and that the last stage (Fig. 83) is instantly made from the first. Pick up the rope with the left hand, and with the right form a loop to be held by the left as shown in Fig. 82. Grasp the rope farther out with the right hand. Without re- leasing the rope bring the hands upward and together as indicated by the arrows, so that the knuckles of the left hand press the backs of the fingers of the right, as shown in Fig. 83. Grasp all the ropes with either hand, and the hitch is ready for use. (5) Circus method. This is the quickest way of making the clove hitch, and should be learned by every one. It is especially useful in pitch- ing large tents, when many ropes must be picked up from the ground and fas- tened to short stakes. Cross the arms in front of the body, the left outside the right, and pick up the rope as shown in Fig. 84. Without twisting the wrists uncross the arms, as indicated by the arrows in Fig. 84, and take the position shown in Fig. 85. Now rotate both hands to the right as indicated by the arrows around the wrists, and put the knuckles of the left hand into the palm of the right, as shown in Fig. 86. Slip the loop from the left hand into the right, and the hitch is ready. {Note.— For most persons these draw- ings will be more easily followed if they are inverted.) Scaffold hitch. — Many oc- casions arise involving the need of a single board scaflEold, hung by a single rope at each end. If a scaffold of this kind is to be safe, the ropes must be attached to the board in such a way that the board will. Fig
