3. Move end A as 

 shown by the arrow in 

 Figure 39 until it is in 

 the position shown in 

 Figure 40. 



4. Grasp the end A 

 and the right side of the 

 loop as shown in Figure 

 41 and draw the long end 

 until the knot becomes 

 tight, as shown in Figure 

 42. 



Slip knot. The slip 

 knot is used when a loop 

 is wanted that will slip 

 up tight around an ob- 

 ject. There are four 

 steps in tying it : 



1. Hold the rope as 

 shown in Figure 43. 



2. Move the right hand 

 so that point A moves as 

 shown by the arrow in 

 Figure 43, thus forming 

 a round turn in the left 

 hand as shown in Figure 

 44, and allow the right 

 hand to slip on the rope 

 to point B. 



3. Move the right 

 hand so that point B 

 moves as shown by the 

 arrow in Figure 44 to 

 the position shown in 

 Figure 45.
