'The cabin's as black as a pit,' Cecco said, almost gibbering, 'but there is something terrible in there: the thing you heard crowing.' The exultation of the boys, the lowering looks of the pirates, both were seen by Hook. 'Cecco,' he said in his most steely voice, 'go back and fetch me out that doodle doo.'

'What was that?' cried Hook. 'Two,' said Slightly solemnly. The Italian Cecco hesitated for a moment and then swung into the cabin. He tottered out, haggard. 'What's the matter with Bill Jukes, you dog?' hissed Hook, towering over him.
