Fleeing from Jack and his hunters Ralph stumbled onto the beach, near the shelters, and was confronted by a naval officer. Jack and his hunters also emerged from the jungle a short distance behind Ralph but immediately stopped their pursuit of Ralph on sighting the officer. You might therefore say that the arrival of the officer saved Ralph from Jack and his hunters. However the officer was only there because his ship had sighted the smoke coming from the island. The smoke came from the out of control fire which Jack had lit to try and drive Ralph from his hiding place. So, with typical Golding irony the fire which Jack lit in an effort to kill Ralph proved to be Ralph's salvation.
Ralph defends Piggy from Jack when he refuses to help with the fire. Ralph argues that Piggy contributes by thinking and suggesting ideas, even if he is physically unable to help. Ralph recognizes Piggy's value to the group beyond just physical labor.
Ralph and Jack never liked each other. Once they met and Jack wanted to take the power from Ralph there was instant friction between the two. It's was obviously Ralph's job to be chief and Jack just expected to get it instead of Ralph.

Jack made no reply to Ralph's question and when Ralph turned away and led the boys towards the mountain Jack was at the back of the bunch glowering and brooding.
Ralph told Samneric that he would hide out in the bushes, so eventually Samneric squeal on Ralph to Jack.
