Jack lied and told the assembled boys that Ralph had called his hunters 'cowards.' He also accused Ralph of being a coward and of being 'like Piggy.' Ralph, he said, wouldn't have got meat for them. The boy's however recognised that Jack was simply trying to smear Ralph in an attempt to be leader himself and they didn't back up his demand that they should vote against Ralph being leader.
