At the start of chapter twelve Jack lit a fire in an attempt to smoke Ralph out of his hiding place in the thicket close to castle rock. The fire simply got out of control, Jack did not intend to set fire to the entire island, including all the fruit trees and the pigs.
In chapter one Jack states, "I ought to be chief, becasue I'm chapter chorister and head boy. I can sing C sharp." In chapter eight Jack criticises Ralph's leadership by say "He's not a hunter. He'd neevr have got us meat." Which by implication means that as Jack is a hunter and has got them meat he should be leader.
