It is thought that the boys arrived on the island by the plane, which crashed during a storm, killing all the adults on the plane. The boys were initially on the plane to be evacuated from the war.

The boys were apparently being evacuated from England, which was engaged in some imagined future nuclear war against 'The Reds.' During the evacuation the plane came under attack and the pilot jettisoned the 'passenger tube,' which then crashed onto the island, leaving a scar in the jungle. The storm dragged the tube out to sea with some boys and presumably the adults still on board. The exact number of boys who survived or who were on the plane originally is never mention. When the book was written planes did not carry as many passengers as they do today, they were much smaller.
