Fig. 3 



Fig. 2. The Packer throws the cincha across the load and, 

 reaching under the mule's belly, catches the cincha 

 hook and brings it up on the near side. 

 The position of the lash rope is now as indicated 

 in Fig. 2. 



Fig. 3. The Packer engages the lash rope in a half- 

 hitch on the cincha hook, keeping the lash rope 

 fairly taut on the cargo.
