Jack led the other boys as they rushed away from the platform and towards the mountain even though Ralph had not called an end to the meeting.
The mountain is mentioned in Lord of the Flies at various points throughout the novel. It is primarily associated with the signal fire that the boys try to maintain in order to signal passing ships for rescue. The mountain also becomes a symbolic focal point for the boys' struggle to maintain order and civilization on the island.
The side of the island with the little bit of smoke in "Lord of the Flies" is the south side of the mountain. This is where the boys start a signal fire in an attempt to attract passing ships for rescue.
Piggy finds the spectacles in Lord of the Flies. He uses them to start the signal fire and later relies on them to see clearly.

When the signal fire goes out
The only "man" in the novel "Lord of the Flies" was a dead pilot who landed on the mountain top.
There are several meetings which take place in Lord of the Flies. In one meeting, after the signal fire has been allowed to go out on top of the mountain, Piggy stands in the long grass at the apex of the triangle formed by the fallen logs, as a sign of protest.
They cut wood and then used Piggy's glasses to reflect the sun so the wood would catch fire.
