Chapter 6 starts at night when all the boys are asleep. In the sky there is a plane shot down in the war and a pilot ejects from the plane. His burning body falls from the plane and lands in the trees on the island. The next morning Samneric are tending the fire and they see something moving in the trees. They think it's the beast, so they run back to tell Ralph, Piggy, and everyone else that they've seen the beast. At first everyone thinks Samneric were just seeing things, but then the littluns get scared and Jack decides he will go and hunt it. Jack takes a group of hunters with him to look for the beast. Piggy has to stay back and take care of the littluns. While they are looking for the beast, Jack and some of the boys start playing around and trying to make a fort. Ralph gets mad at them and punches a rock, but they just keep playing around.
