The next day, Ralph and his few group members try to light the fire, but cannot without Piggy’s glasses. Piggy then suggests that Ralph hold a meeting to discuss what they can do. Ralph blows the conch shell, and the boys few boys in Ralph's group assemble on the beach. They decide that their only choice is to go to Castle Rock to reason with Jack and his followers. In hopes of reminding Jack's followers of his former authority, Ralph decides to take the conch shell with him. As they approach Castle Rock, however, Ralph’s group encounters armed guards. Ralph blows the conch shell, but the guards order them to leave and throw stones at them. Soon afterward, Jack and a group of hunters come out of the forest dragging a dead sow. At that moment, Jack and Ralph fight immediately. Jack commands Ralph to leave, and Ralph yells at Jack to return Piggy’s glasses. Then, Jack attacks Ralph, and they begin to fight. During this, Ralph tries to make Jack understand how important the signal fire is but fails to do so. Jack then orders his hunters to capture Sam and Eric and tie them up. This makes Ralph furious, and he lunges at Jack, thus making Ralph and Jack fight for a second time. During this, Piggy cries out, trying to make himself heard. As Piggy tries to speak, hoping to reason with the group over the importance of rescue, Roger pushes on the lever of a massive rock, causing it to move down the mountainside. Ralph dives and dodges the rock, however, it strikes Piggy, and shatters the conch shell he is holding. Then, Piggy unconsciously falls off the mountainside to his death on the rocks below. Immediately after this, Jack throws his spear at Ralph, which cuts his torso. Soon the other boys join in. Lastly, Ralph escapes into the jungle, and Roger and Jack begin to torture Sam and Eric, forcing them to join Jack's tribe.
