In Chapter 10, Jack tells his followers that they will go on a hunt the next day and have a feast. One of the savages then asks Jack what they will use for lighting the fire. Jack then proposes that they take the fire from Ralph's camp. Jack says that he, Maurice, and Roger will travel to the other side of the island and steal the fire during the night. That night, the three savages quietly approach Piggy's shelter where he is lying next to Ralph and Samneric. Before the savages enter the shelter, they whisper "Piggy, come outside. I want you, Piggy" (Golding 240). Suddenly, there is a crash, and the savages enter the shelter snarling as they punch and kick the boys. Ralph begins to fight back, and the boys roll around swinging at each other in the darkness. During the rumble, Ralph gets on top of someone and begins to punch their face before he gets hit in the crotch. Finally, the shelter collapses and the savages escape. After the fight, Ralph watches as the three savages happily jog along the beach carrying Piggy's glasses.
