On this evening the chief forces of the island were disposed as follows . The lost boys were out looking for Peter , the pirates were out looking for the lost boys , the redskins were out looking for the pirates , and the beasts were out looking for the redskins . They were going round and round the island , but they did not meet because all were going at the same rate .
В этот вечер главные силы острова были распределены следующим образом. Потерянные мальчики искали Питера, пираты искали потерянных мальчиков, краснокожие искали пиратов, а звери искали краснокожих. Они кружили и кружили по острову, но не встречались, потому что все шли с одинаковой скоростью.
