VII. A Baeeow Teick 



Hold one end of the loop on the tip of the left thumb, the other in the right 

 hand so that you have an upper and a lower transverse string. 



Pass the right hand with its loop below the transverse strings from the 

 proximal side, then loop its upper or radial string counter-clockwise round the 

 left thumb and draw the right hand back by the way it came {i.e. between the 

 two transverse strings and its own ulnar string). 



Throw the radial string of the right hand clockwise over the left thumb, 

 then half-circle the right hand loop clockwise to straighten the strings. 



Repeat the movement three or four times, taking care to keep the original 

 left thumb loo'p distal to all the others. 



Now drop this distal left thumb loop and pull the radial transverse string. 

 The knots on the left thumb all resolve, and the string comes away free. 



VIII. A CpppEE Eskimo Teick 



Place one end of the loop on the tip of the left index. 



Pass both the strings that lead from it round the proximal side of the index 

 below the first knuckle so that the index is bent double, then round the distal 

 side under the tip of the index and back round, over it again. Repeat the oper- 

 ation in a contrary direction, and so on alternately in each direction until the 

 string is exhausted. 



Remove the loops that pass round the tip of the index and shake the strings 

 on the palm of the index. The index is freed. 



IX. Anothbe Coppee Eskimo Teick 



Hang one end of the loop on the left thumb and separate the radial and 

 ulnar strings by inserting the right thumb and index in between them. 



With the palm of the left index from above take up the radial left thumb 

 string. 



Turning the right hand palm downward take up with the left thumb the 

 radial right index loop from the proximal side {i.e. from above). 



Drop the left index loop. The left thumb is released. 



X. Another Coppee Eskimo Teick 



Hold one end of the loop between the left thumb and index so that about 

 an inch falls over the back of the thumb. 



Thread the other end of the loop through this loop on the back of the 

 thumb and draw the slip-knot tight. 



Separate the two long pendent strings about two inches from the left thumb 

 by inserting the right thumb and index in between them. You have now on 

 the right hand a radial thumb and an ulnar index string. 



Pass the ulnar right index string round the left thumb in a counter-clockwise 

 direction. Pass the left index under the two transverse strings, push out with 

 it the radial thumb string, then draw up with its palm the ulnar index string 

 and turn the left index outward. Remove the left index loop to the left thumb 

 from the distal side, straighten the two strings that come away from the left 

 thumb, and repeat the movements. 



Continue to repeat these movements until the left thumb is covered with loops. 



Now drop the right hand strings and pull out the proximal ulnar left thumb 

 string. The loops all dissolve and the left thumb is freed.
