Samneric and Piggy.
Ralph does not tell Roger anything in chapter 10. Roberttold Roger that Jack was going to beat Wilfred. he told Roger that Jack had ordered Wilfred to be tied up and had then left him tied up for hours, waiting to be beaten.
In Chapter 10, Piggy suggests that they let the fire go out at night and relight it every morning because he concludes that the smoke will not be visible at night. At this point, Ralph is frustrated that Jack has started his own tribe. Ralph is also discouraged that only he and Piggy seem intent on keeping the fire going. Upon hearing Piggy's suggestion, Ralph agrees to let the fire go out. However, Ralph thinks it would be ideal to have the fire going all the time. The fire also gives Ralph a sense of security, especially at night: Ralph stood up, feeling curiously defenseless with the darkness pressing in.
Ralph and Simon were attempting to build a third shelter on the beach. Ralph was standing outside it placing branches and leaves onto it, while Simon was inside trying to arrange the branches.
To quote directly from the book... "Ralph remained unmistakably Ralph. He came now out of the coco-nut trees, limping, dirty, with dead leaves hanging from his shock of yellow hair. One eye was a slit in a puffy cheek and a great scab had formed on his right knee."
