' Of course in his pride he was carrying the game too far , and the miscreants saw their chance . ` Yes , yes , ' they answered eagerly . ` Well , then , ' he cried , ' I am Peter Pan . ' Pan ! In a moment Hook was himself again , and Smee and Starkey were his faithful henchmen . ` Now we have him , ' Hook shouted . ` Into the water , Smee . Starkey , mind the boat . Take him dead or alive . ' He leaped as he spoke , and simultaneously came the gay voice of Peter . ` Are you ready , boys ? ' ` Ay , ay , ' from various parts of the lagoon . ` Then lam into the pirates . ' The fight was short and sharp . First to draw blood was John , who gallantly climbed into the boat and held Starkey . There was a fierce struggle , in which the cutlass was torn from the pirate 's grasp . He wriggled overboard and John leapt after him . The dinghy drifted away .
Here and there a head bobbed up in the XXXXX , and there was a flash of steel followed by a cry or a whoop .
