Some of them remembered that this had been a saying of Flint's. 'It's worth trying,' they said doubtfully. 'Fling the girl overboard,' cried Hook; and they made a rush at the figure in the cloak. 'There's none can save you now, missy,' Mullins hissed jeeringly. 'There's one,' replied the figure. 'Who's that?' SOME OF THEM REMEMBERED THAT THIS HAD BEEN A SAYING OF FLINTS IT'S WORTH TRYING THEY SAID DOUBTFULLY FLING THE GIRL OVERBOARD CRIED HOOK AND THEY MADE A RUSH AT THE FIGURE IN THE CLOAK THERE'S NONE CAN SAVE YOU NOW MISSY MULLINS HISSED JEERINGLY THERE'S ONE REPLIED THE FIGURE WHO'S THAT
could find. First signing to them to hide, Peter cut Wendy's bonds, and then nothing could have been easier than for them all to fly off together; but one thing barred the way, an oath, 'Hook or me this time.' So when he had freed Wendy, he whispered to her to conceal herself with the others, and himself took her place by the mast, her cloak around him so that he should pass for her. Then he took a great breath and crowed. To the pirates it was a voice crying that all the boys lay slain in the cabin; and they were panic-stricken. Hook tried to hearten them; but like the dogs he had made them they showed him their fangs, and he knew that if he took his eyes off them now they would leap at him. 'Lads,' he said, ready to cajole or strike as need be, but never quailing for an instant, 'I've thought it out. There's a Jonah abroad.' 'Ay,' they snarled, 'a man wi' a hook.' 'No, lads, no, it's the girl. Never was luck on a pirate ship wi' a woman on board. We'll right the ship when she's gone.
