Rapidly and silently Hook gave his orders: one man to each tree, and the others to arrange themselves in a line two yards apart. RAPIDLY AND SILENTLY HOOK GAVE HIS ORDERS ONE MAN TO EACH TREE AND THE OTHERS TO ARRANGE THEMSELVES IN A LINE TWO YARDS APART
hey also heard Peter's answer. 'If the redskins have won,' he said, 'they will beat the tom-tom; it is always their sign of victory.' Now Smee had found the tom-tom, and was at that moment sitting on it. 'You will never hear the tom-tom again,' he muttered, but inaudibly of course, for strict silence had been enjoined. To his amazement Hook signed to him to beat the tom-tom; and slowly there came to Smee an understanding of the dreadful wickedness of the order. Never, probably, had this simple man admired Hook so much. Twice Smee beat upon the instrument, and then stopped to listen gleefully. 'The tom-tom,' the miscreants heard Peter cry; 'an Indian victory!' The doomed children answered with a cheer that was music to the black hearts above, and almost immediately they repeated their goodbyes to Peter. This puzzled the pirates, but all their other feelings were swallowed by a base delight that the enemy were about to come up the trees. They smirked at each other and rubbed their hands. QUESTION PUT BY EVERY BOY AND ALAS THEY ALSO HEARD PETER'S ANSWER IF THE REDSKINS HAVE WON HE SAID THEY WILL BEAT THE TOM TOM IT IS ALWAYS THEIR SIGN OF VICTORY NOW SMEE HAD FOUND THE TOM TOM AND WAS AT THAT MOMENT SITTING ON IT YOU WILL NEVER HEAR THE TOM TOM AGAIN HE MUTTERED BUT INAUDIBLY OF COURSE FOR STRICT SILENCE HAD BEEN ENJOINED TO HIS AMAZEMENT HOOK SIGNED TO HIM TO BEAT THE TOM TOM AND SLOWLY THERE CAME TO SMEE AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE DREADFUL WICKEDNESS OF THE ORDER NEVER PROBABLY HAD THIS SIMPLE MAN ADMIRED HOOK SO MUCH TWICE SMEE BEAT UPON THE INSTRUMENT AND THEN STOPPED TO LISTEN GLEEFULLY THE TOM TOM THE MISCREANTS HEARD PETER CRY AN INDIAN VICTORY THE DOOMED CHILDREN ANSWERED WITH A CHEER THAT WAS MUSIC TO THE BLACK HEARTS ABOVE AND ALMOST IMMEDIATELY THEY REPEATED THEIR GOODBYES TO PETER THIS PUZZLED THE PIRATES BUT ALL THEIR OTHER FEELINGS WERE SWALLOWED BY A BASE DELIGHT THAT THE ENEMY WERE ABOUT TO COME UP THE TREES THEY SMIRKED AT EACH OTHER AND RUBBED THEIR HANDS
