"Can't you see we ought to-- ought to die before we let the fire out?" Jack's hunters giggle self consciously. Later in the book when Ralph confronts Jack tribe at castle rock he reiterates the need for a signal fire and rescue. Once again Jack's tribe greet Ralph's speech with 'shivering, silvery, unreal laughter.'
