The people think that James and the creatures going to attack them, the captain in that ship saw everyone, James, ladybug, Grasshoppers, and others. In the peach, James and the creatures didn't worry about it they all just talk to each other. Suddenly, Centipede was almost fall from the giant peach but James saved him.

At night, James and the companion or creatures were still flying on the peach. That time, they saw many cloud-men so that they speak with low volume to not bother the snowmen. James said that those cloud-men were practicing making hailstones for coming up winter, the hailstones will be showered down to on to people below. But, unfortunately the cloud-men saw the floating giant peach, they also saw James and the creatures.
