This is simply a wall (Knot 42) w ith a crown (Knot 43) formed on
        the top, Fig 1,  making the wall and crown previously referred to.  44
        It will be found that the tails emerging downwards from the
        crown, lay neatl y alongside the strands of the wall below and   Man Rope
        these strands are followed around with the working tails, Fig 2.
        Now the tails emerging upwards from the doubled wall re-a lign   Knot
        with the strands of the original  crown and these are also followed
        around completing the man-rope knot as  Fig 3.
        As may be expected with any crown the tails emerge in a down-
        wards direction and they have been left long in  Fig 3 to illustrate
        this point. In practice they would. of course, be cut off close 10
        the knot.
