    Jack's tribe laughs at Ralph and Piggy and their idea of being rescued.  Ralph had called an assembly because he wanted Piggy's glasses back.  They need to keep the fire going for a signal.  It's their only hope.  But Jack is there to play and run the show at this point.  He doesn't care or have any idea of being rescued.  He has lost all sense of being civil and proper.  He is completely savage, as are all of his followers.  By this point in the story, we can see that there is no turning back for Jack and his followers.  They will not change back and they will not give the glasses back.  Ralph and Piggy are in serious trouble now.
