He says they are "boys with sticks."
In chapter 8 of "Lord of the Flies," Ralph characterizes Jack's hunters as primitive and barbaric, with an emphasis on their violent tendencies and detachment from civilization. He sees them as being consumed by their bloodlust and becoming more savage as they embrace their roles as hunters. Ralph is disturbed by their descent into savagery and the way they prioritize hunting over maintaining the signal fire and runway.
Ralph escapes the hunters while stabbing two boys in Chapter 11 of the book "Lord of the Flies" by William Golding.
In Chapter 4 of "Lord of the Flies" by William Golding, Ralph is mad at Jack because the hunters were supposed to maintain the signal fire. The hunters barely hear or react to Ralph's tongue lashing, more distracted by the joy that they actually caught a pig.
Ralph decided that he could either hide and hope that the hunters went past his hiding place without spotting him or he could break through the advancing line of hunters, hopefully without being spotted.
Ralph is made chief in Chapter 1 of "Lord of the Flies" by William Golding.
The main boys in Ralph's tribe in chapter 10 of Lord of the Flies are Ralph, Piggy, Samneric, and a few littluns. Ralph also tries to maintain some influence over boys like Jack, who have joined the tribe but remain loyal to their own leader.
In Chapter 10 of "Lord of the Flies," the "others" are the group of boys who are not part of Jack's tribe. They consist of Ralph, Piggy, Sam, Eric, and a few other boys who are still loyal to Ralph's leadership. They continue to struggle against the savage behavior of Jack and his tribe.
That Ralph is still chief.
Ralph
In William Golding's novel "Lord of the Flies," it is Jack's group of savages who accompany him to steal fire from Ralph's camp. They violently attack Ralph and the other boys to steal the fire and assert their control over the island.
In Chapter 8 of "Lord of the Flies," Ralph is afraid of the loss of civilization and order on the island. His fear is compounded by the diminishing group cohesion and the increasing savagery exhibited by some of the boys, particularly Jack and his hunters. Ralph's fear stems from the realization that the boys are losing sight of their original goal of being rescued and are spiraling into chaos.
Jack attacked Piggy rather than Ralph because he knew Piggy wouldn't fight back. If he had attacked Ralph there was a good chance that Ralph would have beaten him and Jack couldn't take the risk of losing face in front of his own hunters.
