Jack is the one who blows the conch but immediately after he does, Ralph takes it back. There is a brief argument about who should start things off so that they can discuss what to do now that they’d seen the beast.
Ralph feels that he ought to have called it and he tells Jack that all he did was blow the conch. But then he gives the conch back to Jack to allow him to start the meeting proper.
The boys had just returned from their scouting trip up to the top of the mountain to investigate Samneric’s claim that they had seen the beastie. The boys saw the dead pilot and raced back down the mountain and are now trying to figure out what to do about it.
