This figure is a modification of the preceding. 



Proceed as in "the beluga" up to the stage marked *. 



With the palm of the left thumb from the distal side take up the radial right 

 thumb string (i.e. twist it round the other end of the upper transverse string). 



Drop the right thumb loop over to the left of the left thumb, taking care 

 that it does not fall over that thumb, then insert the right thimib from the 

 proximal side into the left thumb loop. 



Between the middle finger loops are two diagonal strings that intersect each 

 other. Pass the thumbs in below the index loops from the proximal side and 

 with their backs take up the two lower strings' of these diagonals, one with each 

 thumb, and draw them through.

 have "the seal."
