He had a playful humour at moments , and they thought this was one of the moments . `` That is all right , captain , '' Smee answered complacently ; `` we let her go . '' `` Let her go ! '' cried Hook . '' 'T was your own orders , '' the bo ` sun faltered . `` You called over the water to us to let her go , '' said Starkey . `` Brimstone and gall , '' thundered Hook , `` what cozening -LSB- cheating -RSB- is going on here ! '' His face had gone black with rage , but he saw that they believed their words , and he was startled . `` Lads , '' he said , shaking a little , `` I gave no such order . '' `` It is passing queer , '' Smee said , and they all fidgeted uncomfortably . Hook raised his voice , but there was a quiver in it . `` Spirit that haunts this dark lagoon to-night , '' he cried , `` dost hear me ? '' Of course Peter should have kept quiet , but of course he did not . He immediately answered in Hook 's voice : `` Odds , bobs , hammer and tongs , I hear you . '' In that supreme moment Hook did not blanch , even at the gills , but Smee and Starkey clung to each other in terror . `` Who are you , stranger ? Speak ! '' Hook demanded . `` I am James Hook , '' replied the voice , `` captain of the JOLLY ROGER . '' `` You are not ; you are not , '' Hook cried hoarsely .
`` XXXXX and gall , '' the voice retorted , `` say that again , and I 'll cast anchor in you . ''
