Fig. 8. No. 2 now passes the bowline he has formed 

 over and across the forward part of the load to 

 No. I. 



No. I passes the end of the rope on the near side 

 through the bight of the bowline and heaves on 

 the rope. 



This completes the final cinch and he then makes 

 fast the end of the rope. 



The position of the lash rope is now as shown in 

 Fig. 8.
