Chapter 6 summary

The boys saw a flying object at night and they hardly paid attention to it. The twins were on their duty on the mountain. They were to take turns on sleeping but they were both awake in the daylight. In the dark, the twins almost asleep when Eric called Sam. They both saw the beastie and fled the area. Ralph was the first to know about this and an assembly was called right away. During the assembly, the disagreements on the conch and the fire were brought up again. But the boys managed to discuss the main point. Everybody heard what had happened and they decided to go look for the beastie. Jack led the way since he knew the island very well. But there was one place he had never been to on the island. It was an old castle. Their direction was pointed the same way. They got to the place and Ralph was to go in because he was the leader. Jack went on with him to search but they found nothing but an empty, damaged looking building. Ralph motioned that the beastie was seen on the mountain and they had to head for it. The boys disagreed and wanted to stay there for a while to have a fort. But Ralph convinced them to continue.
