` There 's a pirate asleep in the pampas just beneath us , ' Peter told him . ` If you like , we 'll go down and kill him . ' ' I do n't see him , ' John said after a long pause . ' I do . ' ` Suppose , ' John said a little huskily , ` he were to wake up . ' Peter spoke indignantly . ` You do n't think I would kill him while he was sleeping ! I would wake him first , and then kill him . That 's the way I always do . ' ' I say ! Do you kill many ? ' ` Tons . ' John said ` how ripping , ' but decided to have tea first . 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 , ' XXXXX whispered huskily .
