Ralph suggested that they needed to build a fire to attract any passing planes or ships if they wanted to be rescued. Jack led the boys up to to the top of the mountain to build the fire. Both Ralph and Jack worked hard to build a huge bonfire and then, they realised that they had nothing to light it with. They had no matches, no cigarette lighter, nothing. That is why they were both embarrassed.

Jack had focused on the hunting aspect of survival, while Ralph concentrated on building shelter so that they could be safe from nature. So later on, Jack went to hunt a pig while Simon and Ralph were busy building huts. Ralph and Jack argue over the importance and priorities of what had to be done.
