I am guessing that you are referring to the passage about the rock in the sea when Ralph, Jack and Simon set out to climb the mounttain, in chapter one, to determine whether they are on an island or not. To quote from the book... There was a jumble of the usual squareness, with one great block sitting out in the lagoon. Sea birds were nesting there. "Like icing," said Ralph, "on a pink cake." <---wrong he means chapter 6

What strange thing does Ralph notice?
This scene is extremely significant, because it reveals Ralph's struggle to maintain his focus on what he deems is the most important act on the island--maintaining the signal fire. He knows that he has to gather the boys to make their way from Castle Rock to the mountain where Samneric spotted the beast, but for a moment, Ralph completely loses his focus and grip on his priorities. He sees the enthusiasm of the boys pushing the rocks all around him, and Ralph's train of thought completely slips away. Golding uses the simile "like a bat's wing" to describe the way that Ralph's thought process completely shut down, even if momentarily. He and his leadership faltered, and he could not remember the importance of the smoke signal. Golding's simile is an apt one for the scene, as he described the cave and the pink rocks being streaked with guano, like icing earlier; his diction also seems like a play on words, as if to suggest that Ralph is going 'batty.'

What does Ralph notice about the littleuns?
Ralph notices that the littleuns are dirty and unkempt, showing signs of neglect and disarray. He also observes that they are easily scared and struggle to make decisions on their own without adult supervision. Additionally, Ralph notices that the littleuns look up to him as a leader and seek reassurance and protection from him.
Why is Ralph so concerned about the littluns?
The following conversation takes place between Ralph and Jack, at the meeting in chapter 6: Beast from Air, and explains why Ralph was concerned, I quote..."Let's be moving," said Jack restlessly, "we're wasting time.""No we're not. What about the littluns?""Sucks to the littluns!""Someone's got to look after them.""Nobody has so far.""There was no need! Now there is. Piggy'll look after them."Until this point the boys had no reason to suppose that there was anything more dangerous on the island that pigs. Ralph had therefore felt that the littluns could be largely left to their own devices. With the report from Samneric that they had actually seen, and been chased by, a real beast with claws, teeth and wings, Ralph felt that there was now a genuine reason why the littluns should be 'protected.'
