Summarizing Chapter 6

In this chapter, it talks about a man from a shot-down fighter plane that parachuteed down from the sky. The man is dead, but, and the body and parachute float up to the island, eventually snagging on rocks. The wind continually grabs the parachute, lifting the body up and down, which is seen by Sam'n'eric. The boys run to tell about this Beast from the Air, and an assembly is called. Most everyone now thinks they are in grave danger, and Jack suggests they go hunt it. Obviously, they/we find out later that it is the bad stuff inside of the boys which they call the beastie.

Jack, Ralph, and a group of hunters set out to get the Beast, while Piggy stays at the beach with the scared littl'uns. They first check castle rock, where they had never been before. Although they find nothing, Jack thinks the place would be a great fort (A small bit of foreshadowing? Who knows? =p), and he and his hunters heave a large boulder off a ledge ( Uh oh...). Ralph leads them , and they decide to continue to the mountain to look for the beast from the air.
