In chapter 1 Ralph and Piggy discuss whether anyone knows that they are on the island. Ralph suggests that his father will come and rescue them as soon as he can, telling Piggy that the people at the airport will tell him where they are. Piggy replies, and I quote... "Not then. Didn't you hear what the pilot said? About the atom bomb? they're all dead."

The plane was attacked but the pilot ejected a "passenger tube" containing the boys, which crashed onto the island leaving the scar in the jungle. According to Piggy... "that storm dragged it out to sea. It wasn't half dangerous with all them trees falling. There must have been some kids still in it."
Their intended destination is never mentioned. It is simply implied, from things said by Ralph and Piggy, that the boys were being evacuated to a place of safety becasue Britain was involved in a nuclear war with 'The Reds.'
