A DESIRABLE METHOD OF CARRYING THE INJURED.
By this plan even the unconscious victim of an accident may be transported a long distance, because the bearers' hands are left entirely free and thus prevented from becoming cramped or tired, as when a "seat" is made with clasped hands. In the method illustrated above the patient is placed in a seat made by tying a blanket, sheet, rope, or strap in the form of a ring. Each bearer then places his inner arm about the patient's body and with his outer hand holds the patient's arm around his neck.
