But earlier authors, Lever, Biddlecomb and others, including Steel (1794), called it Magnus Hitch and sometimes Magner’s Hitch. Knot #1721 was the original Rolling Hitch (Falkoner, 1769), but Dana and subsequent authors have renamed it „Two Round Turns and Two Half Hitches“. The feature of the present-day Rolling Hitch (formerly Magnus Hitch) is its non-liability to slip under a lengthwise pull in the direction of the round turn. To tie: First make a round turn to the right, pass the end to the left in front of the standing part and add a Half Hitch to the left. Sometimes an additional Half Hitch is added to the neck of this knot, with the idea of that this checks the tendency to slip if the pull is reversed».

The merit of the hitch is that, when snugly applied, it will not slip down the post. Anyone who has found himself at full tide, after a hard day’s fishing, with his painter fast to a stake four or five feet below high-water mark, will be inspired to learn this knot. First make a round turn below the standing part of the rope, and then add a Single Hitch above it».
