g. 65.]

Double crowning is done by following round each strand again alongside
its first lead.

Our next two knots are but combinations of the wall and crown.

{34}

(4). +A Manrope Knot+ is made by first forming a wall and then
crowning it (Fig. 66.)

[Illustration: Fig. 66.]

Then follow round the wall again, and lastly, follow round the crown,
when the finished knot will appear as in Fig. 67.

[Illustration: Fig. 67.]

A knot formed by making a crown first and then a wall, and afterwards
following round the crown and wall again is another form of the Stopper
Knot. It is very similar in appearance when finished to a Manrope Knot.

{35}

(5). +A Single Matthew Walker+.--To make this knot commence similarly
to a wall, but pass the first strand _a_ under both _b_ and _c_, as in
Fig. 68.

[Illustration: Fig. 68.]

Then pass _b_ under both strands _c_ and _a_, and bring up through the
loop first formed by _a_ (Fig. 69).

[Illustration: Fig. 69.]

{36}

Similarly pass _c_ under _a_ and _b_, and bring up through the loop
first formed by _b_ (Fig. 70).

[Illustration: Fig. 70.]

(6). +A Double Matthew Walker+ will be easily learnt if you notice the
difference between a single Matthew Walker and a Wall Knot.

In the Wall Knot you will have noticed that each strand is simply
interlaced with the strand immediately on its right coming up through
the loop formed by this second strand.

In the single Matthew Walker each strand interlaces the two strands to
its right, coming up through the loop of the third strand.

{37}

Another evolution in the same order brings us to the double Matthew
Walker. It is formed, as will be seen by carefully following diagram
71, by making each strand contain in its own loop, the other two
strands, and _its own_ end, that is, each strand leads up through its
own bight after interlacing the other two.

[Illustration: Fig. 71. Fig. 72.]

When worked taut and finished off, it will appear as in Fig. 72.

{38}

(7). +A Single Diamond Knot+.--This is another method of forming the
knot shown in Fig. 59, which in that case was formed by the two ends of
the same rope.

To form it on a rope by its own strands, unlay the rope to the place
where it is desired to form the knot, and as after the knot is made the
strands will have to be laid up again, try to preserve the original lay
in the strands as much as possible. Now bring each of the three
strands down alongside
