High above them from the pinnacles came a sudden shout,
Halt! Who goes there?"
Ralph bent back his head,
"You can see who I am!" he shouted, "stop being silly!"
He put the conch to his lips and began to blow. Roger was shouting.
"You mind out - see?"
At length, Ralph took his lips away and paused to get his breath back. His first words were a gasp but audible,
"Calling an assembly."
The Savages gave no response. Ralph spoke again loudly,
"I am calling an assembly."
He ran his eye over them.
"Where is Jack?"
The group of boys stirred and consulted. A painted face spoke with the voice of Robert. "He is hunting. And he said we weren't to let you in. "
A voice spoke from behind Ralph,
"What do you want?"
He turned quickly. Jack identifiable by personality and red hair was advancing from the forest. A hunter crouched on either side. All three were masked in black and green. Behind them on the grass the headless and paunched body of a Sow lay where they had dropped it. Piggy wailed,
"Ralph! Don't leave me!"
