Usage examples of lassos.

Sometimes they harpooned the alligators, and then, fastening lassos to their head and tails, or to a hind-leg, dragged them ashore.

One of the lassos had snapped, and the alligator was floundering back into the water, when Sambo rushed in up to the armpits and caught the end of the rope.

Then we'll need nets and ropes—too close quarters for lassos, more's the pity.

The men closed around the horses brandishing long poles with lassos on the end.
