'' `` 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 . `` Starkey 's ringleader ! '' `` Captain , mercy ! '' Starkey whimpered , all of a tremble now . `` Shake hands , Starkey , '' said Hook , proffering his claw . Starkey looked round for help , but all deserted him . As he backed up Hook advanced , and now the red spark was in his eye . With a despairing scream the pirate leapt upon Long Tom and precipitated himself into the sea . `` Four , '' said Slightly . `` And now , '' Hook said courteously , `` did any other gentlemen say mutiny ? '' Seizing a lantern and raising his claw with a menacing gesture , `` I 'll bring out that doodle-doo myself , '' he said , and sped into the cabin . `` Five . '' How Slightly longed to say it . He wetted his lips to be ready , but Hook came staggering out , without his lantern .
`` Something blew out the light , '' he XXXXX a little unsteadily .
