1.  Opening B.

2.  345 proximally enter the 2 loop and hook down 2n (fig. 87a).

3.  1 proximally enters the 2 loop. Navajo the 1 loops by rotating 1 first toward the center of the figure then toward the body. The former lower 1 loop is released on to the strings of the upper 1 loop (fig. 87b).

4.  Remove 3 from its loop and pass it proximally along the palm of 1, into the 1 loop (fig. 87c).

5.  Exchange the 3 loops on the near side of the figure as follows: 3 pushes the 3 loop toward the center. R3 proximally hooks up the L3 loop and removes it (fig. 87d).  L3 then proximally hooks up the original R3 loop on the back side of R3 and draws it to the left (fig. 87e).

6.  Release 1 and 2 loops (fig. 87f) and extend very gently forming The Man and his Harpoon (fig. 87g).

7.  Examine the strings passing downward from the upper TV string. Two pass down the near side of the figure and two down the far side. At Indian Point, Siberia, the near strings were picked up with R2 and the far strings with L2.  At Mackenzie River the near strings were held between L1 and L2 and far strings hooked up with R1.  After the other loops were released and the figure extended, at Indian Point L2 (fig. 87h) was caught in a noose (harpooned), at the Mackenzie River R1 was caught.
