Everyone on the island wakes up. “[W]ith the coming of Peter, who hates lethargy, they are all under way again: if you put your ear to the ground now, you would hear the whole island seething with life” (49). The narrator introduces the lost boys—Tootles, Nibs, Slightly, Curly, and the Twins. They hurry through the woods, followed by the pirates, including Smee, a genial member of Captain Hook’s crew. Hook is with his crew: “He was never more sinister than when he was most polite, which is probably the truest test of breeding; and the elegance of his diction, even when he was swearing, no less than the distinction of his demeanor, showed him one of a different caste from his crew” (52).
After introducing the pirates, the narrator introduces the Indians, including Tiger Lily, the chief’s daughter. A crocodile passes by. Ahead, the lost boys talk about Cinderella, and their mothers—a topic Peter Pan disapproves of. The approach of the pirates causes the boys to scatter. Smee talks to Hook about his fear of crocodiles. Hook explains he fears only one crocodile, the one that swallowed both his arm and a clock. Soon, Hook and his crew come upon the lost boys’ camp.
