The "Bow-line on a Bight" (Fig 60) is just as easily made and is very useful in slinging
casks or barrels and in forming a seat for men to be lowered over cliffs, or buildings, or to
be hoisted aloft aboard ship for painting, cleaning, or rigging.

A "Running Bow-line" (Fig. 61) is merely a bow-line with the end passed through the
loop, thus forming a slip knot.
