Peter Pan, Chapter XII. THE CHILDREN ARE CARRIED OFF, sentence 18

From the accounts afterwards supplied by such of the scouts as escaped the carnage, he does not seem even to have paused at the rising ground, though it is certain that in that grey light he must have seen it: no thought of waiting to be attacked appears from first to last to have visited his subtle mind; he would not even hold off till the night was nearly spent; on he pounded with no policy but to fall to.

Who acts: Hook, carnage, thought · What happens: supply, escape, not seem, pause, rise, be · To what, where: accounts, carnage, rising ground, grey light, subtle mind
