. Manual of pack transportation: Quartermaster Corps. Transportation, Military; Mules; Pack transportation. 66 MANUAL, OF PACK TEANSPOKTATION. the side of the standing rope; both packers should perform this action together, never singly; it causes confusion and delay. The right hand now slips down the rope to a point about midway between the pack and the "boot;" reach for this rope by passing the left hand between the standiQg rope and the aparejo, and grip the rope above the right hand; now, both hands assisting, slip down the rope and parting from each other, on each side of the standing rope, hold the rope in a horizontal position, with a space of about 10 inches between each hand; jam this portion down between the two cinchas under the aparejo, and the hitch is "formed" on the "near side, " ready to tighten. (See figs. 17 and 18.). Fig. 18. ^ To avoid confusion, I have explained the formation of the hitch by "near" packer, in the first instance, as is customary in the practice of instruction. Now, we will take up that portion in the formation of the hitch devolving on the "off" packer. (2) The off packer, having picked up the end of the rope and cincha, holds them in left hand, mouth of hook to the front, stands erect and waits for the standing rope to be thrown over the center of the load. (Fig. 19.) As the rope comes over he grips it as high as the arm will conveniently reach (fig. 20) and immediately places the â cincha hook in position under the aparejo, about 6 or 8 inches, and draws down the slack on the standing rope, by one or two quick pulls, and lowering the hook for convenience, he engages the standing rope.
