Chapter Twelve

Summary
Ralph returned to Jack’s camp and spoke to Samneric. They told him to leave, because Jack and all of the other boys were hunting for Ralph. Samneric told Jack where Ralph had been hiding, in a thicket near the entrance to the camp. Jack ran away from the boys and struggled to find a place to hide. A large fire started, and Ralph was found in his hiding place. He ran as fast as he could to the beach, running from the savages and the fire. He was found by a captain, who asked if he knew how many boys were there and then said that he expected a group of British boys would have done better. The boys were rescued and went home.
