STRING FIGURES

Fourth: The spear is "cast" from the left hand to the right hand, by putting the right index down between the fight far thumb string and the right near little

fnger string, and then from below into the left index loop (Fig. 292), and drawing the loop joining the left hand loops out to the right on the back of the fight index.

Then release the loop from the left index and close the fingers of the left hand down on the palm (Fig. 293).

The only point of interest in this figure is the fact that the finished pattern is formed first on one hand, and then may be transferred to the other hand.

The Second movement occurs again only in the next two figures.
