`` Two , '' said Slightly solemnly . The Italian Cecco hesitated for a moment and then swung into the cabin . He tottered out , haggard . `` What 's the matter with Bill Jukes , you dog ? '' hissed Hook , towering over him . `` The matter wi ' him is he 's dead , stabbed , '' replied Cecco in a hollow voice . `` Bill Jukes dead ! '' cried the startled pirates . `` The cabin 's as black as a pit , '' Cecco said , almost gibbering , `` but there is something terrible in there : the thing you heard crowing . '' The exultation of the boys , the lowering looks of the pirates , both were seen by Hook . `` Cecco , '' he said in his most steely voice , `` go back and fetch me out that doodle-doo . '' Cecco , bravest of the brave , cowered before his captain , crying `` No , no '' ; but Hook was purring to his claw . `` Did you say you would go , Cecco ? '' he said musingly . Cecco went , first flinging his arms despairingly . There was no more singing , all listened now ; and again came a death-screech and again a crow . No one spoke except Slightly . `` Three , '' he said . Hook rallied his dogs with a gesture . '' 'S ` death and odds fish , '' he thundered , `` who is to bring me that doodle-doo ? ''
`` Wait till XXXXX comes out , '' growled Starkey , and the others took up the cry .
