Jack spoke.
'We've got to decide about being rescued.'
There was a __?_?_?__. One of the small boys Henry said that he wanted to go home.
'Shut up.' said Ralph absently. He lifted the __?_?_?__.
'Seems to me we ought to have a __?_?_?__ to decide things.'
'A chief! A chief!'
'I ought to be chief' said Jack with simple __?_?_?__ 'because I'm chapter chorister and headboy and I can __?_?_?__ C Sharp.'
Another buzz.
'Well then' said Jack 'I ...'
He hesitated. The dark boy _?_?_?__ stirred at last and spoke up.

'Let's have a __?_?_?__.'
'Yes!'
'Vote for chief!'
'Let's vote....'
The __?_?_?__ of voting was almost as pleasing as the conch. Jack started to protest but the clamour changed from the
general wish for a chief to an __?_?_?__ by acclaim of Ralph himself.
None of the boys could have found good __?_?_?__ for this; what intelligence had been shown was traceable to __?_?_?__ while
the most __?_?_?__ leader was Jack.
But there was a __?_?_?__ about Ralph as he sat that marked him out; there was his __?_?_?__ and attractive appearance; and
most obscurely yet most powerfully there was the conch.

The __?_?_?__ that had blown that had sat waiting for them on the __?_?_?__ with the delicate thing balanced on his knees was set apart.
'Him with the __?_?_?__'
'Ralph! Ralph!'
'Let him be chief with the trumpet-thing.'
Ralph raised a hand for __?_?_?__.
'All right. Who __?_?_?__ Jack for chief?'
With __?_?_?__ obedience the choir raised their hands.
'Who wants me?'
Every hand outside the choir except __?_?_?__'s was raised immediately. Then Piggy too raised his hand grudgingly into the air.
Ralph __?_?_?__. 'I'm chief then.'
