How and why do the boys make fire?

• They do it for protection from wild animals. One boy had a pack of matches which they used.

• The fire was started by lightning. The boys kept it burning.

• The littluns were afraid of the dark. One of the older boys found some fuel that had leaked from the crashed plane, and carried it to the site in a shell.

• It was a rescue signal. They use Piggy's glasses as a "burning glass."
