Jack and his hunters have finally found success when they kill the sow. In order to try and satisfy the beast, they’ve decided that they will leave some of their kill for the beast in order to satisfy it. So Jack tells them to sharpen a stick on both ends so they can stick one end in the ground and the other end into the head.
In my version of the book, this occurs on page 196. Jack is the one who does the honors, finding a good place where the stick is supported by rocks. He then jams the soft throat on the other end of the stick and the head stays there. Of course Simon stumbles across the head later in the story when he has his vision of the beast.
