Only the children survived with the oldest child being 12.
At the end of the boy the only boys who we know definitely did not survive are Piggy and Simon, who were both murdered. It also seems pretty safe to assume that the littlun with the mulberry coloured birthmark on his face perished when the first fire got out of control, as he was never seen again after it. Ralph also stabbed at least two of Jack's tribe with his spear, so they may also have been dead or badly injured.
He sees a snake beastie thing in the jungle.

the thing that crawls out of the forest is Simon.

In "Lord of the Flies," the beast is said to inhabit the jungle during the day. The littlun describes it as a creature that hides in the treetops and comes out at night.
Are you referring to two separate books, called The Secret Place and Lord of the Flies or are you referring to Simon's 'secret place' in the jungle in the book Lord of the Flies? If you are referring to two separate books you need to read them both and make notes comparing and contrasting the two stories.
In "Lord of the Flies," the character who leaves the group to go off on his own is Simon. He often seeks solitude and spiritual reflection in the jungle, away from the group's chaos and violence.
In "Lord of the Flies," Wilfred is one of the boys stranded on the island. He is mentioned briefly in the story, as being one of the boys tortured by Jack and his tribe. Wilfred represents the theme of violence and savagery that emerges among the boys as they regress into savagery without adult supervision.
In "Lord of the Flies," it is Simon who is tending the fire when the boys' fear of the beast emerges. As the boys mistake a dead paratrooper for the beast and flee, Simon remains at the scene and discovers the truth about the figure on the mountain.
Simon has something called epilepsy which causes you to hillucinate or talk to imaginary people so he has somewhat a phsycic power. He dosent talk to anyone in the jungle but it rather is coping with his epilsepsy in private
