<P> Now airborne , the peach crosses the Atlantic Ocean . At one incident , the Centipede entertains the others with ribald dirges to Sponge and Spiker , but in his excitement , he falls into the ocean and is rescued by James . That night , thousands of feet in the air , the giant peach floats through mountain - like , moonlit clouds , where the bugs and James discover the ghostly `` Cloud - Men '' , who control the weather . As the Cloud - Men form hailstones to throw down to the world below , the Centipede insults them , and an army of Cloud - Men pelt the giant peach with hail . They escape and then encounter a rainbow which they smash through . One Cloud - Man pours a tin of `` rainbow paint '' onto the Centipede , briefly turning him into a statue before he is freed by a Cloud - Man who pours water on him . One Cloud - Man almost boards the peach by climbing down the silken strings tied to the stem , which the Centipede severs to release him . Thereafter , James and the bugs approach New York City ; whereupon the military , police , fire department , and rescue services are all called , and people flee to air raid shelters and subway stations , believing the city is about to be destroyed . </P>
