It is the only other thing fairies ca n't do . ' ` Seems to me , ' growled John , ` these are the only two things worth doing . ' Here he got a pinch , but not a loving one . ` If only one of us had a pocket , ' Peter said , ` we could carry her in it . ' However , they had set off in such a hurry that there was not a pocket between the four of them . He had a happy idea . John 's hat ! Tink agreed to travel by hat if it was carried in the hand . John carried it , though she had hoped to be carried by Peter . Presently Wendy took the hat , because John said it struck against his knee as he flew ; and this , as we shall see , led to mischief , for Tinker Bell hated to be under an obligation to Wendy . In the black topper the light was completely hidden , and they flew on in silence . It was the stillest silence they had ever known , broken once by a distant lapping , which Peter explained was the wild beasts drinking at the ford , and again by a rasping sound that might have been the branches of trees rubbing together , but he said it was the redskins sharpening their knives . Even these noises ceased . To Michael the loneliness was dreadful . ` If only something would make a sound ! ' he cried . As if in answer to his request , the air was rent by the most tremendous crash he had ever heard . The pirates had fired Long Tom at them . The roar of it echoed through the mountains , and the echoes seemed to cry savagely , ` Where are they , where are they , where are they ? ' Thus sharply did the terrified three learn the difference between an island of make-believe and the same island come true .
When at last the heavens were steady again , John and XXXXX found themselves alone in the darkness .
