The pirates ran below and came up one by one, and Peter killed them as they came. Then the boys burst out with their weapons, and the fight swept the deck. At last only Hook was left, with his back to the mast. "Proud and insolent youth," he said, "prepare to meet thy doom." "Dark and sinister man," Peter answered, "have at thee." They fought, and Hook could not touch him, for Peter flew. What Hook could not bear was Peter's bad form in kicking him off the ship instead of running him through. He flung himself into the sea, where the crocodile was waiting. Peter took the wheel, and the ship sailed for home with the boys in pirate clothes.
