In Chapter 10, Jack leads an attack on Ralph's settlement. Their target was Piggy's glasses. After a short altercation in the dark, Jack and his hunters are victorious as they flee with Piggy's glasses.
William Golding includes this in LOTF to demonstrate just how vital Piggy's glasses are for survival. The tribes need them to create fire. While they may use the fire for different purposes, both tribes cannot start a fire without them. As such, a greater conflict between the two tribes is started over the glasses.
