ANINTRODUCTIONto the Knowledge ofCROSSE PEALS.
These Peals are term’dcrossin respect of their intricate methods; wherein several notes moving at one and the same time, do thwart orcrosseach other in their course and motion, some moving up, others at the same time down, gives this Denomination to the Peals. The end of pricking them is to make the compleat number of changes by a method differing from that of other Peals. For although five can be varied but 120 ways, and six but 720&c.yet the methods by which they are varied, are differing, according to the several fancies of the Artist. And as order and method are the onlybasison which this Art is founded; so the skilful Artists, the better to effect the aforesaid end, have thought fit in most peals to appoint one note to be as it were a Helm or Rudder,by which the course of the peal is steered; which note is term’d aHunt, and hath one constant uniform motion throughout the peal, differing from that of the other notes. The manner of its motion is continually through the other notes, that is, from leading to strike behind, and from thence again to lead, which motion, first up and then down, is term’d one compleat Course. Some peals upon five bells, asold Doubles,&c.consist of single Courses; there being ten changes in every single Course, and twelve of those Courses in the peal. Other peals upon five bells, asLondon Paradox,&c.consist of double Courses; there being twenty changes in every double Course, and six of those Courses in the peal. Upon six bells there are also single and double Courses,viz.twelve changes in every single Course, as inGrandsire Bob&c.and twenty four changes in every double Course, as inColledg Bob,&c.the change wherein theHuntleaves leading being the first change of every Course. Now the methods of these peals being well considered, they will be found more easie than at the first view they may seem to be; for the first Course of any Cross Peal being judiciously viewed, the general method of the whole peal will thereby appear: for all theCourses in a Cross peal do agree in these three respects. First, in the motion of theHunt; secondly, in the motion of the rest of the notes; thirdly, in the making of the changes, which will plainly appear in the following peals, (some few changes in each peal only excepted, as hereafter I shall shew in my Directions to the several peals:) for proof of which I will give an instance in the peal of new Doubles upon five bells, these being the three first Courses of the peal. Wherein ’tis observable, that the last change of the first Course which is 13524, I have set down again at the top of the second Course; and likewise the last change of the second Course which is 15432, I have also put at the top of the third course; which I have done for the plainer Demonstration of what I here intend. So that the ten lowermost changes are the ten changes of each Course.
First therefore, as to the motion of thehunt, the 1 which is thehuntmoves directly up behind, where it lieth twice, and thendown again to lead, where it lieth also twice; as appears in each of these three Courses, and the like also throughout the peal.
Secondly, as the2d,3d,4th, and5thbells move through the first Course, so the bells that lie in the2d,3d,4th, and5thplaces in the last change of every course, moves in the same manner also through the next following course. For instance; first, for the bell in the2dplace: in the first course the2dbell moves down to lead, where it lieth twice, and then dodges untill thetreblecomes down to it. So likewise in the second course, the3dbell lying in the2dplace moves down to lead, where it lies twice, and then dodges untiltreblecomes down to it; and also in the third course, the5thbell lying in the2dplace, moves down to lead where it lieth twice, and dodgeth until thetreblemoves down to it. Secondly, for the bell in the3dplace. In the first course the3dbell moves down to lead, and there dodgeth untill thetreblecomes down to it: so likewise in the second course the5thbell lying in the3dplace moves down to lead, and there dodgeth untill thetreblecomes down to it: and also in the3dcourse the4thbell lying in the3dplace moves down to lead, and there dodgeth until thetreblecomes down toit. Thirdly, for the bell in the fourth place: In the first course, the fourth bell moves up behind, then down into the3dplace where it lieth twice, then up again behind; so likewise in the second course, the2dbell lying in the4thplace moves up behind, then down into the3dplace where it lieth twice, then up again behind; and also in the third course the3dbell lying in the4thplace, moves therefore up behind, then down into the3dplace where it lieth twice, then up again behind. And such uniform motion also hath the bell in the5thplace through every course.
Thirdly, that the changes in all the courses of the peal are made alike, will here also plainly appear in the three courses. For the first change of every course is made on the two first and two last bells; the second change of every course is made on the four last; the third is made on the four first; the fourth on the two first and two last; the fifth on the four first; the sixth on the two first and two last; the seventh on the four first; the eighth on the four last; the ninth on the two first and two last; and the tenth single.
And thus in every Cross-peal the Courses do all agree, first in the motion of the Hunt, secondly in the motion of the rest of the notes, and thirdly in the making of the changes,as before I have showed. So that these three things being well observed, will be very helpful both in pricking and ringing them; the first and third being most proper to direct the pricking of them, and the first and second the ringing of them. Therefore if the Practitioner do but observe how the changes are made in the first course of a peal, wherein he must have particular regard to the motion of the Hunt, (witha little further help from the following directions to each peal, as to the making ofExtreamsand Bob-changes) he may easily prick down all the following Courses of the same peals and therefore in the following peals I have onely prickt down two or three of the first courses for an example, and then have abridged the rest of the peal by setting down only the changes that are made at the leadings of the Hunt. But note, there are some fewCambridg-peals upon five bells, wherein all the courses of each peal do not agree in the aforesaid three respects: For although as to the motion of thewhole-huntthey do, yet in the motion of the rest of the notes, and consequently in the making of the changes they do not.
It being very difficult to begin the following peals with crosshunts, that is, to make the2d,3d,4th&c.whole-hunts, I will therefore set down a general rule for making the first changes at the beginning of each Peal, wherein consists the great difficulty. In any Cross-peal thewhole-huntmay move either up or down at the beginning; and the motion of thewhole-huntin the first course of each of the following peals will direct the first motion of any crosshunt, and consequently of making the first changes in that peal. For Example, admit the4thwere made thewhole-huntin the peal calledOld doubles and singlesupon five bells, and tohuntup at first: now to know how to make the first changes, observe how the change is made wherein the treble (which is there thewhole-hunt) moves up out of the4thplace, and in the same manner must the change be made wherein the4thbell also moves up out of that place: therefore as the change wherein the treble moves up out of the4thplace is asinglebehind; so likewise must the change wherein the4thbell moves up out of that place, be also asinglebehind thus, 12354: and then as the next change wherein the treble lieth still behind is double of the four first bells; so likewise the next change wherein the4thbell lieth still behind, must also be made on the four first, thus, 21534,&c.Or admit the4thwere to hunt down at the beginning, then observe how the change is made wherein the treble hunts down out of the4thplace, and so in like manner must the change be made wherein the4thhunts also down out of that place: therefore as the change wherein the treble hunts down out of the4thplace, is double of the four first bells; so likewise must the change wherein the4thbell hunts down out of that place, be also double of the four first thus, 21435; then as thetreblemakes asinglewhen it moves down out of the3dplace, so likewise must the4thnext make a single change in moving down out of the3dplace thus 24135,&c.which observations will guide the making of the first changes in any cross peal with any Hunts; but observe whensoever the first change of any peal happensto be single, it must be made at the back-stroke to prevent cutting compass; and the like when a double change happens first in a peal of Triples and Doubles. And moreover by the way observe, that all the following peals are so prickt, that in ringing them at half-pulls, if the first change of each peal is made at the fore-stroke, the single changes in each peal will always be made at the back-stroke; and also the double changes in Triples and Doubles, excepting some few Singlein two or three peals. But when it happens that the first change of a peal is made at the back-stroke, then consequently the bells at the end of the peal will come round at a fore-stroke change.
In such peals on five bells wheresinglesare made in the3dand4thplaces at the leadings of thewhole-hunt, theextreamsmay there be made three ways in each peal;viz.every time thehalf-huntlieth next to thewhole-hunt; secondly, every time it lieth behind; thirdly, every time thehalf-huntlieth next thewhole-hunt, and also behind: in this last way there are sixextreamsin each peal, but in other ways only three in each; theextreamsbeing always made when thewhole-huntleads, and betwixt the two farthestextreambells from thehalf-hunt.
In such peals upon five bells wherein there are threeextreams, and made in the3dand4thplaces at the leadings of thewhole-hunt; the rest of thesinglesat the leadings of thewhole-huntmay be made two ways in each peal,viz.either in the2dand3d, or the4thand5thplaces; if they are made in the2dand3d, then theextreamsmust be made when thehalf-huntlyeth behind; but if thesinglesare made behind, then theextreamsmust be made when thehalf-huntlieth next thewhole-hunt,theextreamsbeing always made between the two nextextreambells to thehalf-hunt.
In all the following peals the figures standing by themselves at the title of the peal, are thehuntsin the peal there prickt: for instance, in the firstcross-pealupon five bells call’dOld doubles and singles, the two figures standing thus1 and 2, are thehuntsin that peal; 1 is thewhole-hunt, 2 thehalf-hunt, and the like of the rest.
All peals ofdoublesupon five bells, which go sixty changes compleat without anysingle, by making of twoextreamsthey will go 120. And also all peals ofdoublesupon six bells, andtriplesanddoublesupon six, which go 360 changes without anysingleorextreme, by making of twoextreamsthey will go 720. Theextreamsin all these compleat peals proceeding from one and the same cause, are therefore to be made after one manner, according to this general and infallible rule: Wheresoever any two of theextreambells are in course to make a change, those two bells by lying still will effectually make theextream. So that the making of theextreamindoublesupon five bells, necessitates the making of asingle changeat the same time, by reason that the twoextreambells whichshould contribute to the making of thedoublechange, do lie still; so that thesinglechange is accidental, and very improperly called theextream. When theextreamsintriplesanddoublesupon six bells are made atdoublechanges, then there happens twosinglesin the peal; but when they are made attriplechanges, then those two changes will becomedouble, and consequently the 720 will then go compleat without anysingle. Upon five bells the firstextreammust be made within sixty changes from the beginning, and the secondextreamjust sixty changes from the first. Upon six bells the firstextreammust be made within 360 changes from the beginning, and the secondextreamjust 360 changes from the first. The easiest way in practice, is to make theextremesat the leadings of thewhole-hunt; wherein it may be observed as a general rule, That in all peals upon six bells, where thehalf-huntdodgeth behind at thebobs, there the firstextreammay be made either the first, second, or third time: thehalfandquarter-huntsdodg together behind, and then the secondextreammust be made the third time those two bells dodg again together behind, after the firstextreamis made. And also in all such peals upon six bells, where thedoublesat the leadings of thewhole-huntare made on the four middle bells, there the firstextreammay be made either the first, second, or third time thehalfandquarter-huntsdo make a change in the2dand3dplaces, and then the2dextreammust be made the third time those two bells come there again to make a change after the firstextreamis made. Thesinglesat all theseextreamsmust be made by thehalfandquarter-hunt. The firstextreamin any peal may also be made at any place, where two of theextreambells are in course to made a change according to the preceding general rule; and then the making of the secondextreammay be guided by observations taken from the changes at the leadings of thewhole-hunt: for at the leadings of thewhole-huntthehalfandquarter-huntsalways come together to make a change in one place, just at 120 changes distance from one another throughout each peal. Now as the secondextreammust be made just 360 changes from the first, so the making of it may thus be guided: Look how many changes, or else how many leadings of thewhole-huntthe firstextreamis made after thehalfandquarter-huntshave made a change together, so many changes or leadings of thewhole-huntmust the secondextreambe made, after the third following time that those twobells do made a change in the same place again. And likewise in all peals, where there are single and doublebobs, the same observations will also hold good, in making theextreamseither after the single or doublebobsas before; there being likewise 120 changes distance between the singlebobsand also between the doublebobs: so that if the firstextreamis made at a singlebob, the second must then be made at the third following singlebob, and the like also at doublebobs. And such kind of observations, according to the nature of the peal, will guide the making of the secondextreamin any peal, either upon five or six bells. Wherein ’tis observable, that the secondextreammust always be made by the same two bells, and in the same place where the first was made, which two bells will in course lie apt for that purpose; and the rest of the bells will also in course lie in the same places at the secondextreamwhere they lay at the first. After the making of the firstextream, the method of the peal goeth on as if noextreamhad been made; and also after the making of the secondextreamif any remaineth, it also goes on, until in course the bells come round.
In all compleat peals ofdoublesupon six bells there may also moveableextreamsbemade, which are made according to this rule; wheresoever any two of theextreambells are together, and in course to lie still, those two bells by making a change will thereby make theextream, which is as effectual as the fixedextream, the reason and ground of both being one and the same. There are also two of theseextreamsin the peal, and the second always made 360 changes from the first, and the making of it guided by such kind of observations as before. When moveableextreamsare made, then there will be two triple changes in the 720; but when fixedextreamsare made, then twosingles.
The art ofcross-prickingmay receive a being from this consideration. As every compleat peal of plain changes upon one number comprehends the compleat peals on all lesser numbers; so likewise every compleatcross-pealmust of necessity do the like, although their cross course permits it not to be done so regularly and demonstrably as the former. From whence may be inferr’d, that every note in across-pealmust of necessity lie as many times in one place, as the rest of the notes are capable of making changes; and also that two or more of the notes must jointly lie in the same places as many times, as the remaining number are also capable of making changes:this being a certain touchstone to prove allcross-pealsafter they are prickt, and must be held as a principle on which to ground such methods of pricking, that the course of all the notes may demonstrably tend to produce those effects. And from hence it is, that the wholehuntimmediately derives the manner of its uniform motion through the courses of each peal. And the changes in every course are as so many guides to conduct the rest of the notes in such sort, that they may be prepared to lie at the last change of the course in apt places for each succeeding course to receive them, and to perform the like. Now as the changes in all the courses of a peal are made alike, except as before; so in the composing ofcross-peals, by pricking of one course may soon be discovered, whether or no a compleat Peal will from thence arise.
Cross Peals.
This peal consists equally ofdoubleandsinglechanges; one change isdouble, the nextsingle, and so throughout. 1 is here thehunt, and 2.3.4extreambells. Everydoublechange is made on the two first and two last bells, and everysingleon the two middle bells, except when the 1 leads, and then behind which is call’dextream. All the bells have a direct Hunting course up and down until 1 leads, and then the bell in the second place lyeth still, whilst the two hind-bells make a dodg; which being made, all the bells proceed again in their Hunting course. The three changes of (a.b.c) are the threeextreamchanges.
There are three ways to make theextreamchanges. First, every timethehuntleads, as in the peal here prickt; secondly, every time it lies behind; thirdly, every time it leads and lies behind: in this last way there are sixextreamchanges in the peal, but in the other two ways, only threeextreams; theextreamchanges must always be made betwixt the two farthest bells from thehunt. Any bell mayhuntat pleasure, and it may move either up or down at the beginning of the peal. If the1stor3ddohuntdown, or the2dor4thup at the beginning, the first change must besingle, and made of the back-stroke (if ’tis rung at half-pulls) to prevent cutting compass; but if either of those bellsdohuntthe contrary way, then the first change must be double.
One change isdouble, the nextsingle, and so by turns. The treble hath a direct hunting course, as in plain changes. Everydoublechange is on the four first bells, and the treble is one of the two bells that makes everysinglechange, except when it leads, and then thesingleis in the3dand4thplaces; but when 2 lies next the treble, then thesingleis behind, which is call’dextream. Every time the treble leaves leading, the two first bells continue slow dodging, until the treble comes down and displaceth them. And when the treble moves down out of the5thplace, the bell that comes into it lies still there, untill the treble comes thither again, except when theextreamchange is made behind. Every bell lies twice together in the3dand4thplaces, except when the treble leads, and also when it hinders them in hunting.
This old peal may be rung by a new course, which differs from the former only in thesinglechanges that are made every time thewhole-huntleads,viz.everysinglemay be made either in the2dand3d, or4thand5thplaces. If they are made in the2dand3d, then theextreamsmust be made when thehalf-huntlies behind; but if they are made in the4thand5thplaces, thentheextreamsmust be made when thehalf-huntlies next thewhole-hunt, theextreamsbeing always made in the3dand4thplaces.
One change isdouble, the nextsingle, and so by turns. The motion of the treble is after this manner; in hunting up, first, it makes a dodg in the2dand3dplaces, then it lies twice in the4thplace, and four times behind; in which manner also it hunts down again, and then leads four times. The rest of the bells have a like course and motion with that of the treble, untill the treble leads. Now ’tis observable, that everysinglechange is made in the2dand3dplaces until the treble leads, and then in the3dand4thplaces; but when 2 lies next the treble, then anextreambehind. The changesat the leadings of thewhole-hunthave an absolute dependency upon the course of thetwenty fourchanges,doublesandsinglesupon four bells; and theextreamsto be made as many ways as in that peal, which are here guided by the motion of thehalf-hunt.
One change isdouble, the nextsingle, and so by turns. Every bell leads twice, and lies behind four times. Everysingleis made in the2dand3dplaces, until the5thcomes behind, and then in the3dand4thplaces; but when the4thleads, (the5thbeing behind) thesingleis in the2dand3dplaces.
This peal in the former printing of it was prickt another way, but I havehere transposed that Course, which in my opinion renders it more easie and practical.
One change isdouble, the nextsingle, and so by turns. The motion of thewhole-huntis after this manner: first, it moves up into the2dand3dplaces, lying twice in each; then it moves up and makes a dodg behind, and then lieth still one change in the5thplace; then it makes another dodg behind, and so moves down into the3dand2dplaces lying twice in each as before, and then leads four times. Every other bell hath a like course and motion with that of the treble until the leadings of the treble, and then observe, that every time the treble goeth to lead and leaves leading, thedoublechange is made on the two first and two last bells, except when it goeth to lead if thehalf-huntlies next it, and then not. Every bell leads four times, and everysingleis made behind. The change wherein each bell leaves leading, is always made on the four first bells, except as before.
What you please,Doubles and Singles.
Every bell leads four times, and lies behind twice, except when theextreamis made behind; and twice in the second place, except when theextreamis made before: and note, when the treble is before the fourth stroke, thesingleis in the2dand3d, the next time thesingleis behind; but at other times thesingleis in the3dand4thplaces. When any bell leaves leading thedoublechange is on the two first and two last, and theextreamsare made by turns, first behind, then before, and so on to the end, for there are sixextreams.
Old Doubles.1 and 2.
The changes are alldouble, except onesingleeverytime the treble leads. The treble hath a perfect hunting course as in plain changes, and every other bell hath a like hunting course with that of the treble until the treble leads, and then asingleis made in the3dand4thplaces; but when the 2 lies next the treble, thesingleis behind which is call’dextream.
The changes are alldouble, except onesingleat every leading of the treble. Thetreble hath a perfect hunting course as in plain changes; and when it moves up from leading, the two first bells dodg untill it comes down again and displaceth them. Every bell that comes into the3dplace lies there twice, and then moves up behind; but the bell which lies there when the treble leaves leading, moves down. Every bell lies twice behind, except at the changes wherein the treble goeth to lead and leaves leading. Every time the treble leads, asinglechange is then made in the3dand4thplaces; but when the 2 lies next the treble, anextreambehind.
The treble hath a direct hunting course as in plain changes, and when it moves up from leading the two first bells dodg until itcomes down again and displaceth them; and whilst they dodg before, every bell that comes down into the3dplace lies there twice, and then moves up again behind. But after the dodging all the bells go a direct hunting course up and down, until the dodging again hindreth them as before. Every bell lies twice behind, except when the treble leaves leading if the2dlies next it, and then thedoubleis made on the two first and two last bells; by which means the two hind-bells then make a dodg, which happens in course once in twenty changes, that is, every second time the treble leaves leading. By this method it will go sixty changes, and then anextreammust be made. Theextreamsin this peal may be made according to the preceding general rule set down in theIntroduction. Here the firstextreamis made at the end of sixty changes, the bells lying 1 3 2; and when they come to lieso again, the secondextreammust be made; theextreamis made behind, two of theextreambells lying there, and thesingleis made in the2dand3dplace at both theextreams.
The treble hath a direct hunting course as in plain changes, and every other bell hath also a like hunting course with that of the treble except when thebobshinder. Thebobsare double changes, and made on the two first and two last bells according to this rule,viz.every time thetreblegoes to lead and leaves leading, abob-change is then made, except the5thlying next it makes a change there with it, and then not. Now ’tis observable, that once in twenty changes, that is, at every second leading of the treble, the5thlies next it, and consequently there is but onebob-change then to be made, but at other times two; so that at one leading of the treble there is but onebob-change made, at the next leading there are two, and so successively by turns, which for distinction may be call’dsingleanddouble bobs, The two bells that dodg behind at abobcontinue theredodging until the treble comes up and displaceth them, and at everybob-changethe bell in the3dplace lieth still, and then moves down to lead. By this method it will go sixty changes; and to carry on the courseextreamsmust be made, there being two in the peal. The manner of making anextreamI have at large shewed in theIntroduction, and theextreamsmay here be made in any place according to the general rule there set down. The easiest way in practice is to make them at the leadings of the treble; at any singlebobit maybe made behind, two of theextreambells lying there, and to lie still whilst the bells in the2dand3dplaces do make thesinglechange: at any doublebobit may be made in the2dand3dplaces, so that thesinglemust there be made behind.If the firstextreamis made at the singlebob, the second must be made at the third following singlebob; or if the first is made at a doublebob, the second must be made at the third doublebobfollowing, as in this peal here prickt, where the firstextreamis made at a doublebob, and the second also made at the third following doublebob.
This peal will go with anyhunts, and to begin it on the four hind bells; but then in ringing it at half-pulls, the first change being made at back-stroke to prevent cutting compass, the bells at the end of the peal will come round at a fore-stroke change. Therefore the better way is to begin it on the four first bells, which may also be done with anyhunts, excepting 1.3, 1.5. and 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, wherein the first change of each may be abob. And observe, that in any way of beginning it, the bells must all proceed in such a perfect hunting course as the first change directs them, until the firstbobcomes to be made.
One change istriple, the nextdouble, and so by turns, except onesingleat the end of every sixty changes. Everytriplechange is made on the two first, the two middle, and two last bells; and everydoubleis made on the four middle bells, except when thehuntleads and then on the four hind bells. Treble is here thehunt, and hath a direct hunting course up and down as in plain changes: the rest of the bells have also a direct hunting course up and down except when the treble leads, and then each bell that was hunting up (except that in the2dplace) makes a dodge with the next bell below it, and then proceeds forward again in its course up; and each bell which at the same time was hunting down, makes a dodg with the next bell above it, and so proceedeth forward in its course down; which method will carry on the peal fivecoursesof thehunt, that is sixty changes as they are here prickt.
In the 120 there is also ahalf-hunt; and when thewhole-huntleads and thehalf-huntlies next it, a single change must then be made, either in the3dand4th, or5thand6thplaces; but observing when thehalf-huntcomes again to lie next thewhole-hunt, another single change must be made in thesame place where the first was made. These single changes are calledextreams, there being two in everysixscore, and the last of them always falls out in course to be made just 60 changes from the first, that is, at the fifth leading of the wholehuntafter the firstextream.
In the 240 there is also ahalf-hunt; and when thewhole-huntleads, and thehalf-huntlies next it, a single change being then made in the4thand5thplaces, will bring the bells round attwelvescore, there being foursinglesin the peal, one of which falls in the course at the end of every sixty changes.
In the 720 there is a whole, half, and quarterhunt, and every time thewhole-huntleads and thehalf-huntlies next it, a single change must then be made in the4thand5thplaces as in thetwelvescore; but when thequarter-huntlies next thehalf-hunt, that is, when the threehuntscome together before, (which always happen at the end of everytwelvescore) then thesinglemust be made behind, which is call’dextream, there being three of them in the peal.
Thesevenscore and fourtriples and doubles are the same with the former except at the leadings of the treble, and then asingleis always made in the3dand4thplaces; but when the 2 lies next the treble, anextreamis made in the4thand5thplaces. This peal is grounded on thetwenty fourdoubles and singles, the four middle bells making them at the leadings of the treble.
The general method of this peal is the same with that next before, but with this difference; whereas in that pealsingleswere made at the end of every sixty changes to carry on the course, in this there aredoublechanges made in their stead, which are calledBob-changes, and made when the treble leads in the2dand3dand the5thand6thplaces, whereas at other times thedoubleis there made on the four hind bells.
The Practitioner may observe these rules in the ringing of it,viz.whatsoever bells he followeth when he hunteth up, he must follow the same bells again, and in the same order, the next time he hunts down, as in thesechanges here prickt; where the treble in hunting up first follows 2, then 4, and then 6; and when it comes behind, first it follows 2 again, then in its hunting down it follows 4 and 6 in the same order as when it hunted up; which is also observed in the ringing of any other bell, but with this difference betwixt thewhole-huntand the rest of the bells,viz.Every time thewhole-huntleaves thetreble’splace and hunts up, it followeth different bells from what it did in its former hunting up, as may be seen in this example: where in its first hunting up it first follows 2, then 4, then 6; whereas in the next hunting up it first follows 3, then 2, then 4. But the first time any other bell leads after abob, whatsoever bells it then follows in its hunting up, it follows the same bells likewise and in the same order every time it hunts up, and consequently every time it hunts down unto the nextbob; as in this example, where 2 in its first hunting up, first follows 4, then 6, then 5, and likewise when it next hunts up it follows 465 as before,&c.But when thewhole-huntis the second bell which he follows in hunting up,he must follow it again when he next lies behind.
