Wolfp,
I had the same problem with my Fletcher. I decided to forego the book and downloaded numerous images off the internet. I discovered that not all Fletchers were rigged exactly the same, close, but not the same. The issue was in how the rigging ran aft of the mast, so I had to pick a design which I thought approximated the rigging on the ship I was modeling (DD658 - a square bridge Fletcher). Motion Models has very good pics of their custom built model DD's from which you can get a good idea of how to run rigging. I have no idea how accurate their rigging schemes are.
