64 MENDING A BROKEN JOINT.
of finishing when you have arrived at the fastening
point, is to make two or three half hitch knots; this
is done by passing the end under one turn of the silk,
making a loop, and drawing it down. The hidden
knot is the better and most secure mode.
To repair a Broken Joint.—Should you be so
unfortunate as to break a top or joint, which misfortune, brother angler, has happened to many a very
careful and scientific sportsman before you—proceed
in this manner. Take your two broken parts, and
with your knife, or a plane if you can get one, smooth
down each part in an oblique direction, fitting them
closely together, and rubbing some shoemaker's wax
on to the parts to make them stick ; now take a long
length of waxed thread or silk and wind it around,
similar to the commencement of hook-tying, merely
to keep the parts together, continuing it a little beyond the extreme end of the fracture ; then carefully
and firmly whip it evenly around until you pass thf>
other end of the fracture; here halt, and wind the
three last turns on the forefinger of the left hand,
extended for that purpose; now pass the end of the
silk or thread under the windings, carefully drawing
out your finger, and pull it through, and you have
the hidden or inverted knot, as before described. Be
careful in finishing, see that your thread does not get
loose, and your whippings are firm and even. In all
cases of winding, see that your ailk is well waxed.
