Wendy , of course , had stood by taking no part in the fight , though watching Peter with glistening eyes ; but now that all was over she became prominent again . She praised them equally , and shuddered delightfully when Michael showed her the place where he had killed one ; and then she took them into Hook 's cabin and pointed to his watch which was hanging on a nail . It said `` half-past one ! '' The lateness of the hour was almost the biggest thing of all . She got them to bed in the pirates ' bunks pretty quickly , you may be sure ; all but Peter , who strutted up and down on the deck , until at last he fell asleep by the side of Long Tom . He had one of his dreams that night , and cried in his sleep for a long time , and Wendy held him tightly . Chapter 16 THE RETURN HOME By three bells that morning they were all stirring their stumps -LSB- legs -RSB- ; for there was a big sea running ; and Tootles , the bo ` sun , was among them , with a rope 's end in his hand and chewing tobacco . They all donned pirate clothes cut off at the knee , shaved smartly , and tumbled up , with the true nautical roll and hitching their trousers . It need not be said who was the captain . Nibs and John were first and second mate . There was a woman aboard . The rest were tars -LSB- sailors -RSB- before the mast , and lived in the fo ` c ` sle . Peter had already lashed himself to the wheel ; but he piped all hands and delivered a short address to them ; said he hoped they would do their duty like gallant hearties , but that he knew they were the scum of Rio and the Gold Coast , and if they snapped at him he would tear them . The bluff strident words struck the note sailors understood , and they cheered him lustily . Then a few sharp orders were given , and they turned the ship round , and nosed her for the mainland . Captain Pan calculated , after consulting the ship 's chart , that if this weather lasted they should strike the Azores about the 21st of June , after which it would save time to fly . Some of them wanted it to be an honest ship and others were in favour of keeping it a pirate ; but the captain treated them as dogs , and they dared not express their wishes to him even in a round robin -LSB- one person after another , as they had to Cpt . Hook -RSB- . Instant obedience was the only safe thing . Slightly got a dozen for looking perplexed when told to take soundings .
The general feeling was that XXXXX was honest just now to lull Wendy 's suspicions , but that there might be a change when the new suit was ready , which , against her will , she was making for him out of some of Hook 's wickedest garments .
