What was the most exciting things that happened to Karana?

Karana and Ramo believe that the ship will return for them soon, but it is not long before food shortages become a problem for them. The wild dogs that roam the island have already eaten much of the food that the tribe left behind, so the children must use their fishing and gathering skills to survive. Even so, they find their situation fun at first – especially Ramo, who proclaims himself Chief of Ghalas-at. But only a few days into their stay on the island, the wild dogs kill Ramo when he sneaks off alone to the place where the canoes are tied up.
