When do the boys find the parachutist in Lord of the Flies?

Answer 1

SamnEric

Answer 2

Samneric are the first to see the Beast from the Air. They are on nighttime fire duty when they spot the dead body of the pilot, moving as its parachute caught the breeze. In the flickering light of the fire they mistake it for a 'beast' with wings and their own fears add further details as they run away through the dark jungle in terror.

Answer 3

The first boys see the body of the parachutist short after his arrival but in the darkness Samneric mistake him for the beast. Ralph, Roger and Jack see the body later in the same day but in the failing light of evening they too mistake the body for the beast. Simon is the only boy who sees the body and recognises it for what it is. He untangled the parachute lines from the rocks which had caused the body to move when the wind blew. Later, during the storm the body was swept from the mountain top and drifted across the jungle, beach and lagoon before being carried out to sea. Its flight was witnessed by many of the boys who ran screaming with fright into the jungle, assuming that they had seen a flying beast.
