1 Piggy's voice trailed off at the sight of Ralph's face.
2 The trailing butts hindered her and the sharp, cross-cut points were a torment.
3 Cautiously, his stick trailing behind him, Ralph wormed between the rising stems.
4 Then the trail, the frustration, claimed him again and he searched the ground avidly.
5 One piglet, with a demented shriek, rushed into the sea trailing Roger's spear behind it.
6 Jack lifted his head and stared at the inscrutable masses of creeper that lay across the trail.
7 He walked between the trailing butts, therefore, the conch held carefully between his two hands.
8 Beyond the creeper, the trail joined a pig-run that was wide enough and trodden enough to be a path.
9 There was a sudden bright explosion and corkscrew trail across the sky; then darkness again and stars.
10 At last Ralph ceased to blow and sat there, the conch trailing from one hand, his head bowed on his knees.
11 The strange attendant creatures, with their fiery eyes and trailing vapors, busied themselves round his head.
12 There was only the faintest indication of a trail here; a cracked twig and what might be the impression of one side of a hoof.
13 Though he had taken off his school sweater and trailed it now from one hand, his grey shirt stuck to him and his hair was plastered to his forehead.
14 A sharpened stick about five feet long trailed from his right hand, and except for a pair of tattered shorts held up by his knife-belt he was naked.
15 They said little but trailed the butts of their wooden spears; for Piggy had found that, by looking down and shielding his tired sight from the sun, he could just see these moving along the sand.
16 Swearing, he turned off the trail and pushed his way through until the forest opened a little and instead of bald trunks supporting a dark roof there were light grey trunks and crowns of feathery palm.
