Fig. 10. No. I takes the slack, without losing tension, 

 and passes it under the near forward corner of 

 the sobre-jalma, on to the rear under and outside 

 of the cincha, up around the near rear corner of 

 the sobre-jalma and throws it over and across the 

 load calling to No. 2: 

 "Take it all:* 



No. 2 seizes the rope bringing the end forward of 

 the two central ropes, passing it under and to the 

 rear of them and bringing it forward again in a 

 single turn or half hitch. He passes it around the 

 off forward lashing, throws his weight into it in a 

 final pull and makei it fast. The load is now se- 

 cured by the Double Diamond Hitch. 

 The position of the lash rope is now as indicated in 

 Fig. 10.
