Bosun Jones' Knot Guide - The Witches Snatch Coaster

At one time, Bosun Jones ran the largest fight school in the fleet. He never forgot a face (particularly if the man it was attached to owed him money) and he managed to keep track of hundreds of wagers but while he was good at organising fights and betting pools, he wasn’t much of a sailor. After years of shore leave, Jones had washed away that part of his brain where he kept the names of knots and he resorted to inventing his own names for them; “bowlines” became "Chinaman hitches" and a reef knot became a “Witches snatch"
