104 PHOTOGRAPHY FOR BIRD-LOVERS, 

 commanding point be found. A plan we have 

 found fairly satisfactory is to throw over the cliff 

 a fishing-line as well as the hand-line, but the former 

 instead of being made fast to a crowbar, is tied 

 round the arm of one of the haulers ; the climber 

 then communicates his wish by a series of jerks 

 on the line one pull, stop ; two, lower away ; 

 three, haul up, and so on. 



The camera should, whenever possible, be taken 

 down the cliff, strapped to the back, and not 

 lowered afterwards ; nothing is more likely to 

 loosen stones than to send a camera-case bumping 

 and sliding down the cliff.
