Last night there was a big aerial battle nearby to our island. I guess they couldn't really call a truce midair to come down to investigate our fire, since it is being kept lit and watched all the time now. In the night a dead body came down on a parachute and landed on the mountain. Samneric told everyone all about it in the morning, but I knew i heard them screaming for Ralph in the night when they heard his parachute inflate in the wind. If only he had come down alive. Or better yet, with a radio that functioned... I'm sure one of us could have figured out how to use it.
Ralph called an assembly. He thinks we should explore the rest of the island to make sure there aren't any big beasts lurking in the few places that we haven't been to yet. I don't like the looks of the big rock at the far end of the island, but Ralph thinks we need to go there, so I guess I won't argue with him since he is chief. Maybe I'll stay back with the littluns, just to be safe...
Ralph decided to go by himself to the big castle-rock, with Jack going after him a few minutes later. I hope they don't find anything scary there.
Once Ralph and Jack decided that there wasn't any beast in the big rock formation at the other end of the island, all the littluns wanted to go play there. I might go with them and make sure they're careful. I don't want there to be any chance blame for one's injuries could be put on me (again.)
Ralph is always right... He realized that no one was tending the fire and sent some of Jack's boys to go back up to the mountain from the rock formation. We have to keep that fire going. It's our only chance of getting rescued any time soon since no one knows where we are.
