Wendy was crying , for it was the first tragedy she had seen . Peter had seen many tragedies , but he had forgotten them all . He was less sorry than Wendy for Tiger Lily : it was two against one that angered him , and he meant to save her . An easy way would have been to wait until the pirates had gone , but he was never one to choose the easy way . There was almost nothing he could not do , and he now imitated the voice of Hook . ` Ahoy there , you lubbers , ' he called . It was a marvellous imitation . ` The captain , ' said the pirates , staring at each other in surprise . ` He must be swimming out to us , ' Starkey said , when they had looked for him in vain . ` We are putting the redskin on the rock , ' Smee called out . ` Set her free , ' came the astonishing answer . ` Free ! ' ` Yes , cut her bonds and let her go . ' ` But , captain -- ' ` At once , d'ye hear , ' cried Peter , ` or I 'll plunge my hook in you . ' ` This is queer , ' Smee gasped . ` Better do what the captain orders , ' said Starkey nervously . ` Ay , ay , ' Smee said , and he cut Tiger Lily 's cords . At once like an eel she slid between Starkey 's legs into the water . Of course Wendy was very elated over Peter 's cleverness ; but she knew that he would be elated also and very likely crow and thus betray himself , so at once her hand went out to cover his mouth . But it was stayed even in the act , for ` Boat ahoy ! '
rang over the lagoon in Hook 's voice , and this time it was not XXXXX who had spoken .
