Ralph threw his spear and hit the boar in the snout. The boar squealed and then swerved aside into the covert. After searching the immediate area the boys were forced to admit that the boar has escaped. Ralph was in a state of excitement because he'd actually taken part in a hunt and had hit the boar with his spear. Jack, as always, tried to top Ralph's claims by showing a bloody but insignificant rip on his arm caused by the boar. The boys began to reenact the hunt with Robert taking the part of the pig, until he screamed in pain, as he was beginning to get hurt for real. then the entire thing got even further out of hand when Ralph shouted "Kill him! Kill him!" and the boys attacked Robert, seemingly intent on really hurting him. Eventually, after Jack pretended to slit Robert's throat and Robert made 'pig dying noises' the reenactment was over, leaving Robert frightened and crying. Excited by the game the boys then suggest improvements, such as using a drum and someone dressed as a pig. When Robert protested that they needed to use a pig, "because you've got to kill it." Jack suggested, "Use a littlun," and everyone laughed, but was he only joking?
