otion--_winding off the hook-line_. (93) Approximated both hands with their tips horizontally in front of body, first two fingers with thumb collected to a point, and moving the fingers as in the act of twisting a cord, gradually receded the hands--_twisting_. (94) Thrust forward three fingers of the right--_three_, i.e., _hook-lines_. (95) Repeated No. 93, then rubbed palm of flat and extended right forward over the thigh repeatedly and with a slight pressure--_twisting them tightly_. (96) Approximated both hands closed to fists, thumbs upward, in front of body and pulled them asunder repeatedly by short, quick, and sudden jerks--_proving strength of line_. (97) Hooked the forefinger, hand turned downward at wrist, remaining fingers closed, thumb resting upon first--_fish-hook_. (98) Raised and curved three fingers and thrust them forward a little separated, back to the front--_three_, i.e., _hooks_. (99) Collecting fore and middle fingers of each hand to a point with thumb, he opposed tips of both hands, vertically describing with the upper hand several short circular movements around the tip of the lower--_tying together_. (100) Hooked the separated fore and middle fingers of the right, pointing upward, back forward, and placed the hooked finger of the left, palm forward, in front and partially between the fork of the first--_in the shape of an anchor_. (101) Thrust both hands, backs upward, fingers extended and separated, forward (i.e., northward), vigorously, left being foremost--_throwing toward the shore_. (102) Thence elevating the right toward the head, he thrust it downward in an oblique direction, fore and middle fingers extended and joined with the thumb--_sinking_. (103) Placing hands in the position attained last in No. 100 (_throwing out toward shore_), he closed the fingers, drawing the hands back toward the body and leaning backward simultaneously--_hauling in_. (104) Elevated the naturally closed hand to side of head, fingers opening and separating during the movement--at the same time and with a slight jerk of the shoulders inclining the head sideward--and again closed and slowly dropped it upon knee--_in vain_. (105) Dropped the finger perpendicularly downward, following the movement with the eye--_bottom_. (106) Passed the flat hand, palm down, from side to side in a smooth and horizontal movement--_smooth_. (107) Made the sign for _stone, rock_, as follows: With
