FIG. 22. FIG. 23.
The knots in Figs. [24], [25] and [26] explain themselves; they are often useful to picnickers and campers-out. Hitches are no less knots than any of the foregoing; but they are knots used to fasten the end of a rope to any object in such manner as to be easily cast off when no longer needed. They are few in number, and all very simple and easily described.
FIG. 24.—TWO WAYS OF FASTENING A WEIGHT TO A LINE.
