               On the sea, we see like a tail come
            down from a cloud, and touch the
            see. Inside of the tail come up tons of
           water toward the cloud . Suddenly,
           we didn´t see the tail, but all the water,
           contained in the cloud, come down
           on the sea.
           To see from a distance.
     
     
     

     

             This figure is a continuation
                of  "canoe".
     

          A. Do the canoe.
              You have a loop on sur 1,
              three on 2 and one on 5.

         B. 1 passes above the oblique
              string crossing 2 (the loop
              1 slips off).
              1 picks up the palmar
              string, and draws through
              his loop, which slips off.
              Release 5.
     

         C. 5, passes over  2f, and
              picks up 2n (transverse
              string).

              You have a loop on 1,
              three on 2 and one on 5.

         D. 2 passes over his string f,
              and staighten toward
              you, catching 2f.

         E. Extend the figure
              separating  1 and 2.
              1n must to be parallel
              to 2f.
              Arrange if need.
     


              The extension is rather
              difficult.

             This figure begins like
                "Dance".
     
     
     
     
     

         A. 1 and 2 hold a segment
              of the loop.
              A small segment must to
              pass between the hands.
              Pass the right half of the
              segment, in front of the
              left half, to form a small
              hanging loop ....
              Introduce 2, toward you,
              in the small hanging loop .

              Straighten 2
              Release 1.
              Extend, to absorb the big
              hanging loop.

              You have now two loops
              on 2.
              The near strings are
              parallel and the far
              strings are crossing.

              This movement is known
              as "Murray opening".
     

         B. R1 over lower R2n,
              picks up lower R2f.

              L1 over lower L2n and f,
              picks up upper L2f.
     

        C. R5 over upper R2n and f,
             picks up lower R2n.

        D. L5 over upper L2n and
             lower L2f,
             picks up lower L2n
             (transverse string).

          You have a loop  on 1,
              two on 2 and one on 5.
     

         E. 2 enters in the triangles
              near of 5, and, toward
              you , picks up the string
              that it is the continuation
              of the upper string 2n .
              Release 1.

     
     

         F. 1, away from you, enters
              in 5 and pick up the
              oblique string.
     

            Arrange if need.
