Rope-SighL

*

“Unless, as has been said, a beli goes vcry badly, there should be little or no motion in the body, a slight movement, like a very slight bow, is not ungraceful; but ihis will eonie naturally to a niań who is likely to becorne a good ringer. Above all things the body should never be turned for the pur-pose of looking at one ropę or another. *    *    * But _tj_le

ringer should place himself in such a position that he can com-mand, by turning his head, a sight of every ropę in the tower, and then turn his eyes or his head, if necessary, towards the ringer of the beli after which he has to strike.”
