There was nothing for the ship to respond to. If the island was on the ship's charts it would have been marked as uninhabited (which is was before the arrival of the boys) so the ship would have had no reason to visit it. The signal fire had gone out so there was no smoke to attract the attention of the ship to the fact that there were people on the island.
it did not see them
The boys looked for their own smoke to signal the ship but it had gone out.
Ralph believes that Jack saw a ship
Ralph said that a ship could see the smoke from up there and rescue them.
They would build a fire to create smoke so a ship or plane would see them.
Jack and the hunters were suppose to watch the fire, but instead they went hunting. The fire went out and there was no signal, failing to signal the ship.
Jack lets the fire go out so when the ship comes pat no one got rescues because the ship could not see the fire.
no because it doesnt name a specific ship
The nearest ship was the S.S California but they did not respond. The nearest ship to respond, the Carpathia, taken 4 hours to arrive at 17 and a half knots her top speed.
Descend into savagery as their stay on the island goes on; as if they were travelling back to more savage times.
In "Lord of the Flies," the children are saved when a naval officer arrives on the island after witnessing the fire that the boys set to signal for help. The officer rescues the boys from the chaos and violence that had consumed them during their time stranded on the island.
There is no character named "percinal" in "Lord of the Flies." However, in Chapter 4 of the book, the boys try to keep a signal fire burning to attract passing ships, but it goes out and a ship passes by without noticing them. This missed opportunity causes the boys frustration and disappointment as they are stuck on the island.
