Description
Summary:lace v Now some of the hunters, having slain all they could make shift to get aboard, were returning. Open came the loops of the lines; swiftly the nimrods laced their"tows." They cut holes in the edges of the sculps, passed the ropes back and forth through these, and made a peculiar complicated knot. A turn of rope served as a grip for the left hand. The long end was passed over the right shoulder, wrapped round the arm, and firmly held by the right hand. Lacing a tow is something of a trick in itself. PRINTED ITEM DNE-cit W. J.
