Meanwhile Jack leads another successful hunt, attacking and killing a nursing sow and then impaling her head on a stick as an offering to the beast, coincidentally in full view of the spot where Simon sits concealed. Simon disappears as well, going to his hidden spot in the forest to rest after his unsuccessful address to the group. While everyone gathers wood, most of the biguns creep away to join Jack. Piggy, glad that Jack is gone, suggests they build a signal fire on the beach so that they won't have to go up the mountain. Simon suggests they all go face whatever's on the mountain, but no one wants to go. When the boys refuse to openly vote against Ralph, Jack announces his defection and runs off into the forest. In retaliation, Jack attempts his most serious mutiny yet, trying to convince the other boys to impeach Ralph. Ralph angers Jack by telling Piggy that even Jack would hide if the beast attacked them.
