Or we might tell how Peter saved Tiger Lily's life in the Mermaids' Lagoon, and so made her his ally. Or we could tell of that cake the pirates cooked so that the boys might eat it and perish; and how they placed it in one cunning spot after another; but always Wendy snatched it from the hands of her children, so that in time it lost its succulence, and became as hard as a stone, and was used as a missile, and Hook fell over it in the dark. OR WE MIGHT TELL HOW PETER SAVED TIGER LILY'S LIFE IN THE MERMAID'S LAGOON AND SO MADE HER HIS ALLY ALL WE COULD TELL OF THAT CAKE THE PIRATES COOKED SO THAT THE BOYS MIGHT EAT IT AND PERISH AND HOW THEY PLACED IT IN ONE CUNNING SPOT AFTER ANOTHER BUT ALWAYS WENDY SNATCHED IT FROM THE HANDS OF HER CHILDREN SO THAT IN TIME IT LOST ITS OCCULENCE AND BECAME AS HARD AS A STONE AND WAS USED AS A MISSILE AND HOOK FELL OVER IT IN THE DARK
ith the redskins at Slightly Gulch? It was a sanguinary affair, and especially interesting as showing one of Peter's peculiarities, which was that in the middle of a fight he would suddenly change sides. At the Gulch, when victory was still in the balance, sometimes leaning this way and sometimes that, he called out, 'I'm redskin to-day; what are you, Tootles?' And Tootles answered, 'Redskin; what are you, Nibs?' and Nibs said,'Redskin; what are you, Twin?' and so on; and they were all redskin; and of course this would have ended the fight had not the real redskins, fascinated by Peter's methods, agreed to be lost boys for that once, and so at it they all went again, more fiercely than ever. The extraordinary upshot of this adventure was--but we have not decided yet that this is the adventure we are to narrate. Perhaps a better one would be the night attack by the redskins on the house under the ground, when several of them stuck in the hollow trees and had to be pulled out like corks. O CHOOSE SHOULD WE TAKE THE BRUSH WITH THE REDSKINS AT SLIGHTLY GULCH IT WAS A SANGUARY AFFAIR AND ESPECIALLY INTERESTING AS SHOWING ONE OF PETER'S PECULIARITIES WHICH WAS THAT IN THE MIDDLE OF A FIGHT IT WOULD SUDDENLY CHANGE SIGHTS AT THE GULCH WHEN VICTORY WAS STILL IN THE BALANCE SOMETIMES LEANING THIS WAY AND SOMETIMES THAT HE CALLED OUT I'M REDSKIN TO DAY WHAT ARE YOU TOOTLES AND TOOTLES ANSWERED REDSKIN WHAT ARE YOU NIBS AND NIP SAID REDSKIN WHAT ARE YOU TWIN AND SO ON AND THEY WERE ALL REDSKIN AND OF COURSE THIS WOULD HAVE ENDED THE FIGHT HAD NOT THE REAL REDSKINS FASCINATED BY PETER'S METHODS AGREED TO BE LOST BOYS FOR THAT ONCE AND SO AT IT THEY ALL WENT AGAIN MORE FIERCELY THAN EVER THE EXTRAORDINARY UPSHOT OF THIS ADVENTURE WAS BUT WE HAVE NOT DECIDED YET THAT THIS IS THE ADVENTURE WE ARE TO NARRATE PERHAPS A BETTER ONE WOULD BE THE NIGHT ATTACK BY THE REDSKINS FROM THE HOUSE UNDER THE GROUND WHEN SEVERAL OF THEM STUCK IN THE HOLLOW TREES AND HAD TO BE PULLED OUT LIKE CORKS
