In
the
midst
of
them
,
the
blackest
and
largest
jewel
in
that
dark
setting
,
reclined
James
Hook
,
or
as
he
wrote
himself
,
Jas
.
Hook
,
of
whom
it
is
said
he
was
the
only
man
that
the
Sea-Cook
feared
.
He
lay
at
his
ease
in
a
rough
chariot
drawn
and
propelled
by
his
men
,
and
instead
of
a
right
hand
he
had
the
iron
hook
with
which
ever
and
anon
he
encouraged
them
to
increase
their
pace
.
As
dogs
this
terrible
man
treated
and
addressed
them
,
and
as
dogs
they
obeyed
him
.
In
person
he
was
cadaverous
and
blackavized
,
and
his
hair
was
dressed
in
long
curls
,
which
at
a
little
distance
looked
like
black
candles
,
and
gave
a
singularly
threatening
expression
to
his
handsome
countenance
.
His
eyes
were
of
the
blue
of
the
forget-me-not
,
and
of
a
profound
melancholy
,
save
when
he
was
plunging
his
hook
into
you
,
at
which
time
two
red
spots
appeared
in
them
and
lit
them
up
horribly
.
In
manner
,
something
of
the
grand
seigneur
still
clung
to
him
,
so
that
he
even
ripped
you
up
with
an
air
,
and
I
have
been
told
that
he
was
a
raconteur
of
repute
.
He
was
never
more
sinister
than
when
he
was
most
polite
,
which
is
probably
the
truest
test
of
breeding
;
and
the
elegance
of
his
diction
,
even
when
he
was
swearing
,
no
less
than
the
distinction
of
his
demeanour
,
showed
him
one
of
a
different
caste
from
his
crew
.
A
man
of
indomitable
courage
,
it
was
said
of
him
that
the
only
thing
he
shied
at
was
the
sight
of
his
own
blood
,
which
was
thick
and
of
an
unusual
colour
.
In
dress
he
somewhat
aped
the
attire
associated
with
the
name
of
Charles
II.
,
having
heard
it
said
in
some
earlier
period
of
his
career
that
he
bore
a
strange
resemblance
to
the
ill-fated
Stuarts
;
and
in
his
mouth
he
had
a
holder
of
his
own
contrivance
which
enabled
him
to
smoke
two
cigars
at
once
.
But
undoubtedly
the
grimmest
part
of
him
was
his
iron
claw
.
Let
us
now
kill
a
pirate
,
to
show
Hook
's
method
.
Skylights
will
do
.
As
they
pass
,
Skylights
lurches
clumsily
against
him
,
ruffling
his
lace
collar
;
the
hook
shoots
forth
,
there
is
a
tearing
sound
and
one
screech
,
then
the
body
is
kicked
aside
,
and
the
pirates
pass
on
.
He
has
not
even
taken
the
cigars
from
his
mouth
.
Such
is
the
terrible
man
against
whom
Peter
Pan
is
pitted
.
Which
will
win
?
On
the
trail
of
the
pirates
,
stealing
noiselessly
down
the
war-path
,
which
is
not
visible
to
inexperienced
eyes
,
come
the
redskins
,
every
one
of
them
with
his
eyes
peeled
.
They
carry
tomahawks
and
knives
,
and
their
naked
bodies
gleam
with
paint
and
oil
.
Strung
around
them
are
scalps
,
of
boys
as
well
as
of
pirates
,
for
these
are
the
Piccaninny
tribe
,
and
not
to
be
confused
with
the
softer-hearted
Delawares
or
the
Hurons
.
In
the
van
,
on
all
fours
,
is
Great
Big
Little
Panther
,
a
brave
of
so
many
scalps
that
in
his
present
position
they
somewhat
impede
his
progress
.
Bringing
up
the
rear
,
the
place
of
greatest
danger
,
comes
Tiger
Lily
,
proudly
erect
,
a
princess
in
her
own
right
.
She
is
the
most
beautiful
of
dusky
Dianas
and
the
belle
of
the
Piccaninnies
,
coquettish
,
cold
and
amorous
by
turns
;
there
is
not
a
brave
who
would
not
have
the
wayward
thing
to
wife
,
but
she
staves
off
the
altar
with
a
hatchet
.
Observe
how
they
pass
over
fallen
twigs
without
making
the
slightest
noise
.
The
only
sound
to
be
heard
is
their
somewhat
heavy
breathing
.
The
fact
is
that
they
are
all
a
little
fat
just
now
after
the
heavy
gorging
,
but
in
time
they
will
work
this
off
.
For
the
moment
,
however
,
it
constitutes
their
chief
danger
.
The
redskins
disappear
as
they
have
come
like
shadows
,
and
soon
their
place
is
taken
by
the
beasts
,
a
great
and
motley
procession
:
lions
,
tigers
,
bears
,
and
the
innumerable
smaller
savage
things
that
flee
from
them
,
for
every
kind
of
beast
,
and
,
more
particularly
;
all
the
man-eaters
,
live
cheek
by
jowl
on
the
favoured
island
.
Their
tongues
are
hanging
out
,
they
are
hungry
to-night
.
When
they
have
passed
,
comes
the
last
figure
of
all
,
a
gigantic
crocodile
.
We
shall
see
for
whom
she
is
looking
presently
.
The
crocodile
passes
,
but
soon
the
boys
appear
again
,
for
the
procession
must
continue
indefinitely
until
one
of
the
parties
stops
or
changes
its
pace
.
Then
quickly
they
will
be
on
top
of
each
other
.
