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.' 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
ildren could not resist raising a cheer. Hook had well-nigh forgotten his prisoners, but as he swung round on them now his face lit up again. 'Lads,' he cried to his crew, 'here's a notion. Open the cabin door and drive them in. Let them fight the doodle-doo for their lives. If they kill him, we're so much the better; if he kills them, we're none the worse.' For the last time his dogs admired Hook, and devotedly they did his bidding. The boys, pretending to struggle, were pushed into the cabin and the door was closed on them. 'Now, listen,' cried Hook, and all listened. But not one dared to face the door. Yes, one, Wendy, who all this time had been bound to the mast. It was for neither a scream nor a crow that she was watching; it was for the reappearance of Peter. She had not long to wait. In the cabin he had found the thing for which he had gone in search: the key that would free the children of their manacles; and now they all stole forth, armed with such weapons as they could find. P THE CRY THE SHIP'S DOOMED AT THIS THE CHILDREN COULD NOT RESIST RAISING A CHEER HOOK HAD WELL NIGH FORGOTTEN HIS PRISONERS BUT AS HE SWUNG ROUND TO THEM NOW HIS FACE LIT UP AGAIN LADS HE CRIED TO HIS CREW HERE'S A NOTION OPEN THE CABIN DOOR AND DRIVE THEM IN LET THEM FIGHT A LITTLE DO FOR THEIR LIVES IF THEY KILL HIM WE'RE SO MUCH THE BETTER IF HE KILLS THEM WE'RE NONE THE WORSE FOR THE LAST TIME HIS DOGS ADMIRED HOOK AND DEVOTEDLY THEY DID HIS BIDDING THE BOYS PRETENDING TO STRUGGLE WERE PUSHED INTO THE CABIN AND THE DOOR WAS CLOSED ON THEM NOW LISTEN CRIED HOOK AND ALL LISTENED BUT NOT ONE DARED TO FACE THE DOOR YES ONE WENDY WHO ALL THIS TIME HAD BEEN BOUND TO THE MAST IT WAS FOR NEITHER A SCREAM NOR A CROW THAT SHE WAS WATCHING IT WAS FOR THE REAPPEARANCE OF PETER SHE HAD NOT LONG TO WAIT IN THE CABIN HE HAD FOUND THE THING FOR WHICH HE HAD GONE IN SEARCH THE KEY THAT WOULD FREE THE CHILDREN OF THEIR MANACLES AND NOW THEY ALL STOLE FORTH ARMED WITH SUCH WEAPONS AS THEY COULD FIND
