To Make a Sheep Shank:

Make a long bight in a topgallant back-stay, or any rope which it is desirable to shorten, and taking a half hitch near each bend, as at a. Rope yarn stops at b, which is desirable to keep it in place till the strain is brought on it. Wire rope cannot be so treated, and it is injurious to hemp rope that is large and stiff.
