The little boy with the mulberry colored birthmark comes forward to speak of what? What element does he introduce? How does he describe it?

A small six-year-old boy whose face is half-covered by a red birthmark stands hesitantly to request the conch. He appears as if he is about to cry; once he has possession of the conch, he asks Ralph what the group will do about a snake-thing, which he describes as a "beastie" that appeared to him in the forest.

As a result, I think the boy died.
