After the boat had passed, Ralph called a meeting about the fire at the lamentable seating area on the beach. After a while of speaking and making sure everyone always did their jobs from now on, the crowd became swept with wearisomeness and speak of the "beast" started to rise again. Somebody got hold of the conch and it started to get tossed around between the youngins. Ralph grabbed it back and held it above his head with apparent reverence. After settling them all down he started to dismiss the "beast" once again but when somebody mentioned "ghosts" the convulsions of laughter started. he settled them down once again. Jack stole the attention of the crowd and rallied them to hunt down the beast and before Ralph knew it they were all back at the shelter leaving Simon, Piggy and himself alone. It was obvious to him now the young'ins would not notice the splendors of the island until all speak of the beast was gone.
