Whirls in "The flight of the sandmartins"

Hi,

to those who have done this dance in the dim and distant past, in the so 
called "flight figure" the instructions read: "Men... (come) in to a 
quick left shoulder /whirl /with the other two men before 
continuing....". The way I see it, this "flight figure" is simply 
Schiehallion reels for 3, but what is this "whirl" thing? Is it a quick 
pass in the middle or is it a twirl in the middle before continuing?
To those who know me, no prizes for guessing which version I prefer..... 
:-D

Thanks in advance

Andrea (fae Dundee)
