The first to pass is Tootles, not the least brave but the most unfortunate of all that gallant band. He had been in fewer adventures than any of them, because the big things constantly happened just when he had stepped round the corner; all would be quiet, he would take the opportunity of going off to gather a few sticks for firewood, and then when he returned the others would be sweeping up the blood.

The lost boys were out looking for Peter, the pirates were out looking for the lost boys, the redskins were out looking for the pirates, and the beasts were out looking for the redskins. They were going round and round the island, but they did not meet because all were going at the same rate. All wanted blood except the boys, who liked it as a rule, but to-night were out to greet their captain. The boys on the island vary, of course, in numbers, according as they get killed and so on; and when they seem to be growing up, which is against the rules, Peter thins them out; but at this time there were six of them, counting the twins as two. Let us pretend to lie here among the sugar-cane and watch them as they steal by in single file, each with his hand on his dagger. They are forbidden by Peter to look in the least like him, and they wear the skins of bears slain by themselves, in which they are so round and furry that when they fall they roll. They have therefore become very sure-footed. HE ISLAND WERE DISPOSED AS FOLLOWS THE LOST BOYS WERE OUT LOOKING FOR PETER THE PIRATES WERE OUT LOOKING FOR THE LOST BOYS THE REDSKINS RAN LOOKING FOR THE PIRATES AND THE BEASTS RAN LOOKING FOR THE REDSKINS THEY WERE GOING ROUND AND ROUND THE ISLAND BUT THEY DID NOT MEET BECAUSE ALL WERE GOING AT THE SAME RATE ALL WANTED BLOOD EXCEPT THE BOYS WHO LIKED IT AS A RULE BUT TO NIGHT WERE OUT TO GREET THEIR CAPTAIN THE BOYS ON THE ISLAND VARY OF COURSE IN NUMBERS ACCORDING AS THEY GET KILLED AND SO ON AND WHEN THEY SEEM TO BE GROWING UP WHICH IS AGAINST THE RULES PETER THINS THEM OUT BUT AT THIS TIME THERE WERE SIX OF THEM COUNTING THE TWINSES TOO LET US PRETEND TO LIE HERE AMONG THE SUGAR CANE AND WATCH THEM AS THEY STEAL BY IN SINGLE FILE EACH WITH HIS HAND ON HIS DAGGER THEY ARE FORBIDDEN BY PETER TO LOOK IN THE LEAST LIKE HIM AND THEY WEAR THE SKINS OF BEARS SLAIN BY THEMSELVES IN WHICH THEY ARE SO ROUND AND FURRY THAT WHEN THEY FALL THEY ROAR THEY HAVE THEREFORE BECOME VERY SURE FOOTED
