Hi, all,
Just to confuse the issue further, I have an undated copy of the
instructions (appears to have been originally typed) with diagrams for
this dance which states that the dance was devised by Jack McConachie
of the "Imperial Society".
Bars 9-16 are Rights & Lefts followed by a Ladies reel of 3 in bars
17-24.  The "Whirl " is the 3 Men dancing closely together
anticlockwise for a 1/3 of a circle between each 'loop' ( Ladies also
"Whirl" similarly).
