`` Shall I after him , Captain , '' asked pathetic Smee , `` and tickle him with Johnny Corkscrew ? '' Smee had pleasant names for everything , and his cutlass was Johnny Corkscrew , because he wiggled it in the wound . One could mention many lovable traits in Smee . For instance , after killing , it was his spectacles he wiped instead of his weapon . `` Johnny 's a silent fellow , '' he reminded Hook . `` Not now , Smee , '' Hook said darkly . `` He is only one , and I want to mischief all the seven . Scatter and look for them . '' The pirates disappeared among the trees , and in a moment their Captain and Smee were alone . Hook heaved a heavy sigh , and I know not why it was , perhaps it was because of the soft beauty of the evening , but there came over him a desire to confide to his faithful bo ` sun the story of his life . He spoke long and earnestly , but what it was all about Smee , who was rather stupid , did not know in the least . Anon -LSB- later -RSB- he caught the word Peter . `` Most of all , '' Hook was saying passionately , `` I want their captain , Peter Pan . 'T was he cut off my arm . '' He brandished the hook threateningly . `` I 've waited long to shake his hand with this . Oh , I 'll tear him ! '' `` And yet , '' said Smee , `` I have often heard you say that hook was worth a score of hands , for combing the hair and other homely uses . '' `` Ay , '' the captain answered , `` if I was a mother I would pray to have my children born with this instead of that , '' and he cast a look of pride upon his iron hand and one of scorn upon the other . Then again he frowned .
`` XXXXX flung my arm , '' he said , wincing , `` to a crocodile that happened to be passing by . ''
