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. 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 HARDEN 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
 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. 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. 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 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
