We learned more about Roger and his evil tendencies. We concluded that he is an allegory for the inherent evil in all of us; the part of every person that is capable of evil.

While swimming Ralph, Piggy, Simon, and Maurice see a ship. Unfortunately, Jack has taken all the hunters/fire tenders and gone off into the jungle. Ralph and the others run up the hill to try and restart the fire, but are too late. The hunters return shortly thereafter chanting, and waving their spears in the air because they have killed pig.
