Chapter 2: Fire on the Mountain begins with Ralph blowing the conch and calling the boys to a meeting. He informs them that Simon, Jack and himself have ascertained that they are on an island, which appears to be uninhabited. Jack tells the boys that there are pigs, which they can hunt for meat on the island. A littlun with a mulberry coloured birthmark on his face asks, through Piggy, what they are going to do about the snake-thing which he claims to have seen the previous night. He also asks if it will return and eat him. The boys laugh but there is an undercurrent of unease. Ralph tells the boys that while they should have fun of the island they need to get rescued and in order to help this to happen they should light a signal fire on the mountain top. The boys run off, led by Jack. The boys collect wood from a 'pocket of jungle' partway down the side of the mountain and build a huge pile on the mountain top. Then they realise that they have nothing to light it with. Eventually Piggy's glasses are used as a burning glass and the fire is lit. The huge fire burns fiercely and collapses in on itself, releasing a shower of sparks which then set fire to the 'pocket of jungle' where they had earlier collected wood. The chapter ends with the realisation, by Piggy, that the littlun who had earlier mentioned the snake-thing is nowhere to be seen, presumably killed by the out of control fire.
