None too soon, Peter, every inch of him on tiptoe, vanished into the cabin; for more than one pirate was screwing up his courage to look round. They could hear each other's distressed breathing now, which showed them that the more terrible sound had passed. 'It's gone, captain,' Smee said, wiping his spectacles. 'All's still again.' NONE TOO SOON PETER EVERY INCH OF HIM ON TIPTOE VANISHED INTO THE CABIN FOR MORE THAN ONE PIRATE WAS GREWING UP HIS COURAGE TO LOOK AROUND THEY COULD HEAR EACH OTHER'S DISTRESSED BREATHING NOW WHICH SHOWED THEM THAT THE MORE TERRIBLE SOUND HAD PASSED IT'S GONE CAPTAIN SMEE SAID WIPING HIS SPECTACLES ALL'S STILL AGAIN

No sooner did Peter remember it than he heard the ticking. At first he thought the sound did come from the crocodile, and he looked behind him swiftly. Then he realised that he was doing it himself, and in a flash he understood the situation. 'How clever of me,' he thought at once, and signed to the boys not to burst into applause.

John clapped his hands on the ill-fated pirate's mouth to stifle the dying groan. He fell forward. Four boys caught him to prevent the thud. Peter gave the signal, and the carrion was cast overboard. There was a splash, and then silence. How long has it taken? 'One!' (Slightly had begun to count.) IM ON THE CONTRARY HE THOUGHT HE HAD SCALED HER SIDE AS NOISELESSLY AS A MOUSE AND HE WAS AMAZED TO SEE THE PIRATES COWERING FROM HIM WITH HOOK IN THEIR MIDST AS ABJECT AS IF HE HAD HEARD THE CROCODILE THE CROCODILE NO SOONER DID PETER REMEMBER IT THAN HE HEARD THE TICKING AT FIRST HE THOUGHT THE SOUND DID COME FROM THE CROCODILE AND HE LOOKED BEHIND HIM SWIFTLY THEN HE REALIZED THAT HE WAS DOING IT HIMSELF AND IN A FLASH HE UNDERSTOOD THE SITUATION HOW CLEVER OF ME HE THOUGHT AT ONCE AND SIGNED TO THE BOYS NOT TO BURST INTO APPLAUSE IT WAS AT THIS MOMENT THAT ED TINTY THE QUARREMASTER EMERGED FROM THE FORECASTLE AND CAME ALONG THE DECK NOW READER TIME WHAT HAPPENED BY YOUR WATCH PETER STRUCK TRUE AND DEEP JOHN CLAPPED HIS HANDS ON THE ILL FATED PIRATE'S MOUTH TO STIFLE THE DYING GROAN HE FELL FORWARD FOUR BOYS CAUGHT HIM TO PREVENT THE THUD PETER GAVE THE SIGNAL AND THE CARRIER WAS CAST OVERBOARD THERE WAS A SPLASH AND THEN SILENCE HOW LONG HAD IT TAKEN ONE SLIGHTLY HAD BEGUN TO COUNT
