When i first started to paddle along shore i could see the giant flames,and i could hear the ululations from the boys on the island. At first i saw 30 bathing in the pond like thing then more come out from the jungle 50 or 60 boys all by them selfs. when i got to the island and truly saw all these boys ageing from 6-13. I could not visualize all these boys by them self i cried who is your leader. one small boy came up to me his hat was covered in stains and rips and his faced looked like it was sunburned for life face completly cower in frekles. He cowered over towards me like he had not seen a adult in years he did not know what to expect from a civilized human.i aksed to the boy infront of me who was stuck glaring at my boat.
" what is going on here is this some kind of war?"
" yes two of our men have already died!"
I wanted him to elaborate about how they got here how they died and so forth. But i knew that was not such a good idea i knew i had to get these boys off this island and fast.
i looked out into the forest and two more boys heaved them selfs out to where i was standing.

I like how you started your blog from the Navy officer seeing the island while paddling instead of just starting it when he is on the island.
Could you maybe describe Jack and Ralph's reaction to the Navy officer, I wasnt sure who you were talking about when you said...
