He asked if there were many pirates on the island just now , and Peter said he had never known so many . ` Who is captain now ? ' ` Hook , ' answered Peter ; and his face became very stern as he said that hated word . ` Jas . Hook ? ' ` Ay . ' Then indeed Michael began to cry , and even John could speak in gulps only , for they knew Hook 's reputation . ` He was Blackbeard 's bo ` sun , ' John whispered huskily . ` He is the worst of them all . He is the only man of whom Barbecue was afraid . ' ` That 's him , ' said Peter . ` What is he like ? Is he big ? ' ` He is not so big as he was . ' ` How do you mean ? ' ' I cut off a bit of him . ' ` You ! ' ` Yes , me , ' said Peter sharply . ' I was n't meaning to be disrespectful . ' ` Oh , all right ' ` But , I say , what bit ? '
` His XXXXX hand . '
