[Fig. 54.] The Snubbing-hitch is made by passing the rope around the object to which it is desired to fasten it, and then making what is known as a Taut-line hitch, [Figure 68], about the standing part of the rope.
[Fig. 55.] Timber-hitch and Half-hitch is a combination of the two separate hitches shown in [Fig. 49] and [Fig 50]. It is more secure than either used alone.
[Fig. 56.] The Chain-hitch is a combination of the above hitch and two or more half-hitches. It is used for hauling in a larger rope or cable with a tow line, etc.
[Fig. 57.] The Twist-hitch is more secure than the Half-hitch and it is suitable only where the strain is continuous.
[Fig. 58.] Twist-and-bow-hitch is similar to the Simple Twist-hitch but is easier to untie.
