"But a sign came down from the world of grown ups, though at the time there was no child awake to read it"
At the beginning of chapter 6 there was a description of a pilot jumping from a plane and landing on the island. Sam and Eric thought it was the beast and they ran to wake Ralph and the others. Ralph had the twins call an assembly while he, Jack, and Simon went to kill the beast. They went out in the night with their spears to kill the beast and Ralph accidentally wounded Simon with his spear. Later in the chapter, Ralph and Jack notice spot in the cliff that once was a gap, but was now filled with a lump. Ralph began to look closer and an "ape" was there. The man ejected from the plane. He showed his face to Ralph. This symbolized that thy were going to be stranded for a while. The only help that was sent for them had been shot down like they were in the first place.
