” Smee! ” Hook cried as the Crocodile circled below. He lunged forward and fell overboard, snagging the plank with his hook. Suddenly, a green blur streaked through the air and scooped her up. Meanwhile, on the ship’s plank, Captain Hook reached out to grab Wendy. Then the Lost Boys cast off and headed for shore. When the boys were all safe, John opened his umbrella, leaped over the side of the ship, and floated down to join them.
Then they climbed down into a boat that was waiting below. The Lost Boys hurried inside and untied Michael. “Not you again!” Smee exclaimed and chased after John. “I’ll be right back!”Īs soon as Hook was gone, John looked into the porthole. Just then, they heard a girl’s voice say, “Captain Hook!” On the pirate ship, Smee tied Michael to à chair, while Hook tried to find out where the secret entrance to Peter’s hideout was. “He knew Michael and I weren’t pirates!” asked John.
“If Hook knew where I lived, why would he have followed you? I think it was a trick.” John told them what had happened to Michael and that Hook was planning to attack. Peter, Wendy, and the others gathered around him. “Don’t stop!”Ī few minutes later, John burst into Peter’s hideout. Beside him, two pirates had Michael in their clutches. Captain Hook was standing at the bottom of the hill. “Michael?” John asked, looking over his shoulder. When he reached the top, he called, “This way, Michael!” “Run!” They scrambled up a hill, with John leading the way. Like a clock in a crocodile that follows Captain Hook!” They don’t know it, but now they’re working for us!” A short time later, John and Michael reached the shore. Smee straightened his glasses and looked at Hook. “They’ll lead us straight to Pan !” he said. We’ve got work to do.”Īs soon as the boys were outside, John whispered to Michael, “We have to warn Peter !” Quickly, they climbed over the side of the ship and began rowing toward shore.Ĭaptain Hook laughed as he watched through his telescope. Hook said, “Yes, on Peter Pan’s hideout.” He turned to his first mate. After all, with the attack only three days away, security is more important than ever.” “The captain looked John straight in the eye.” Yes, “he agreed. Just today I saw them swabbing the deck and standing lookout. The first mate stammered, “Th-they say they were checking on your safety, sir. “What’s the meaning of this?” Captain Hook demanded. spies could look through that porthole as easily as I did !” “We’ve been checking the safety of the captain’s quarters, and I must say that we’re shocked. When he saw the boys, he said, “Oh, it’s you!” The first mate came scuttling out of the cabin. Unlike Smee, Hook could tell that John was not a real pirate. When John peered through the porthole of the cabin, he saw Captain Hook. I’ll be right back,” John whispered to his brother.
He’ll lead us the right to Captain Hook!” They followed Smee at a safe distance and saw him enter a cabin. “I should tell the captain, ” Smee replied.
