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.

In a typical example of irony by Golding the fire which Jack lit in an effort to kill Ralph proved to be Ralph's salvation.
