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 Cecco comes out , '' growled Starkey , and the others took up the cry . `` I think I heard you volunteer , Starkey , '' said Hook , purring again . `` No , by thunder ! '' Starkey cried . `` My hook thinks you did , '' said Hook , crossing to him . `` I wonder if it would not be advisable , Starkey , to humour the hook ? '' `` I 'll swing before I go in there , '' replied Starkey doggedly , and again he had the support of the crew . `` Is this mutiny ? '' asked Hook more pleasantly than ever .
`` XXXXX 's ringleader ! ''
