This figure is not found in [Dickey 1928]. I stumbled on the following reconstruction by forgetting how to start Darkness/Ace of Spades.
1. Opening A.
2. Insert thumbs from above into index loops, and then pass them under far index strings and near little finger strings, and into little finger loops from below. Return with near little finger strings and far index finger strings. Release little fingers.
3. Pass little fingers over near index strings, and insert into thumb loops from below. Return with (double) far thumb strings, and release thumbs.
4. Pass thumbs over index loops, and insert into little finger loops from below. Return with (double) near little finger strings, and release little fingers.
5. Give thumb loops a full twist away from you.
6. Pass little fingers over index loops, and insert into thumb loops from below. Return with (double) far thumb strings.
7. Bend indexes down over (double) palmar strings, and into their own loops from above. Release little fingers, and give indexes a half-twist away from you and up.
Jayne's illustration is upside-down.
