Ralph tells the naval officer that he is in charge because he was the elected leader of the boys. Jack simply declared himself leader using a combination of bribery and force but Ralph remained the only truly elected leader. To have allowed Jack to claim leadership would have meant that Piggy and Simon had died in vain. Ralph gave their deaths some meaning by claiming leadership and by doing so claiming victory on the behalf of right, adherence to laws and justice over the savage anarchy and violence which Jack represented.

Ralph is able to persuade the other boys that they will be saved by sharing with them that his father is a navy captain. He tells them that the queen has a room with maps that show every island in the world.
Jack says that the conch is meaningless on his end of the island. He makes his own rules and does not consider Ralph a leader.
Answer The author made Simon say that to foreshadow that Simon would not get home alright/ at all. This is true, but this also means that Ralph will be the only person that will be able to return to his true self after they get off of the island.
I don't think that there was any one thing that pleased Ralph most, except perhaps the absence of adults. Ralph seemed equally captivated by everything, the fact that he was on an island, that it was a tropical island, the reef, the platform, the bathing pool, the mountain, the pockets of flowers and trees, everything was 'good' it was a 'good island.' Initially Ralph viewed the entire experience as a positive experience, an opportunity to have fun while he waited for the inevitable rescuers to find him and the other boys.
Ralph leads the group to the ledge in chapter 6 of "Lord of the Flies." He takes charge and motivates the others to explore the island with him.

In chapter 10 of "Lord of the Flies," Eric reveals to Ralph that Jack and his tribe plan to hunt him down and kill him. This news shocks Ralph, as it underscores the dangerous and hostile environment that has emerged on the island.

Early in the novel Ralph, Jack and Simon climb the mountain to ascertain if they are actually on an island. Later in the book Ralph, Jack and Roger climb the mountain in search of the beast.
He was in charge of the Cyclops on the island.
Ralph Lane
Ralph, Jack and Roger search the island and climb the mountain in their search for "the beast."
Ralph's suggestion that Jack isn't a good leader and should step down angers Jack. Jack responds by leading a mutiny against Ralph and creating his own tribe, leading to a power struggle on the island.
Fleeing from Jack and his hunters Ralph stumbled onto the beach, near the shelters, and was confronted by a naval officer. Jack and his hunters also emerged from the jungle a short distance behind Ralph but immediately stopped their pursuit of Ralph on sighting the officer. You might therefore say that the arrival of the officer saved Ralph from Jack and his hunters. However the officer was only there because his ship had sighted the smoke coming from the island. The smoke came from the out of control fire which Jack had lit to try and drive Ralph from his hiding place. So, with typical Golding irony the fire which Jack lit in an effort to kill Ralph proved to be Ralph's salvation.
