Soak Gut BrerorE Tyina. 167 
end of soaked gut on the shank, and begin to wind it on at 
the end of the shank, winding close, tight, and neat, until 
you have wound down to near the end of the gut, or nearly 
half the length of the shank, when hold the end of your silk 
there and form a loop of the remainder, and cast it three or 
four times over the shank as represented; then draw up the 
loop by the end of the silk thread, which will leave the end 
fastened under those three or four loops cast over the bend 
of the hook, thus forming a good finish, so that you may 
cut the end of the silk thread close to the tie without dan- 
ger of its drawing.
