Chapter 4 - Painted Faces and Long Hair
Painted Faces and Long Hair: Jack's hunters return with a pig.
Enlarge image
Roger bullies three littluns playing, then watches their games. Even they are disagreeing and fighting.
Jack paints his face as camouflage to help him hunt a pig and goes off with his hunters.
Ralph spots a ship on the horizon, but the hunters have let the fire go out, making it impossible for the ship to know they are there and denying them rescue. The hunters return triumphant with a pig, but have to face Ralph's anger. In the argument that follows, Jack breaks half of Piggy's glasses.
They all cook the pig and eat it, although Jack is initially unwilling to share. The hunters are still excited and raise a chant, "Kill the pig. Cut her throat. Bash her in."
