There is a extended metaphor that Golding uses throughout the novel to suggest that Jack is the symbol of Dictatorship, Hitler most likely as the book was written just after WWII. The children are fearing a beast from the water, it's just a rumor however. Much like the British fearing the German U-Boats or "Beasts from the sea". When Jack (or some one does)suggests the beast can fly, "Beasts from the Air (or sky)"is the next chapter, possibly a reference to the London bombings?Yes and this will carry on to next chapter

The significance of the title is that the water represents the unknown territory. The boys do not go into the ocean, therefore, they do not know what is lurking in the water.

In Lord of the Flies what does Simon mean when he says what I mean is maybe it's only us?
Simon's comment was about the beast. He suspected that the beast was not an animal and obviously didn't believe that it was a ghost. This left only one remaining possibility, that there was no beast. Simon believed that the beast was simply a product of the boy's own imaginations. The beast only existed in their own minds. However there was a deeper reasoning to Simon's comment. Simone suspected that the beast wasn't just a product of the boys' own imaginations but was actually the boys themselves. It was the boys themselves who were the 'beast,' capable of hurting, of killing and of committing acts of evil.
