HORSE PACKING 



Fig. 6 



Fig. 6. The Packer now passes in rear of the mule and 

 takes the free end of the lash rope, bringing it 

 to the rear and over the standing part that lies 

 across the cargo from the cincha ring to hook. 

 He brings this free end over and down, passing 

 it under the rear near corner of the sobre-jalma. 

 Then he brings the end forward on the near side 

 and under the cincha hook, letting the free end fall 

 forward. It is now time to cinch the cargo. 

 The position of the lash rope is now as indicated in 

 Fig. 6.
