Fig. 5. The packer now passes around to the near side 

 and passes the lash rope in the same manner as 

 he did on the off side. He brings the rope down 

 over the forward end of the near pack, then down 

 along the lower side of the near pack to the rear. 

 It passes over and outside the standing rope. 

 The position of the lash rope is now as shown in 

 Fig. 5.
