Two Half Hitches
(Fig 11)
This is the half hitch repeated;
this is commonly
used, and is capable of resisting
to the full strength of the rope. A
stop from a to the standing part will prevent it jamming.
Clove Hitch
(Fig 12 & 13)
Pass the end a round a spar and cross
it over b. Pass it round the spar again and put the end a through the
second bight.
