As Huck explored the Island, he noticed a campfire that was stomped out less than a few days ago. The ashes were still warm. That night he ran into Jim, who was a slave that ran away from Mrs. Watson. Jim was frightened as he thought that Huck was a ghost.

Huck and Tom soon find out where the Phelps have been keeping Jim. They begin to prepare for the escape. They steal small supplies from Aunt Sally and frame her husband so she doesn't suspect anything from Huck and Tom.

In order for Jim not to be suspected as a runaway slave, the King and Duke make fake wanted posters to make it seem like they are turning Jim in. Also, in order for Jim to be by himself, they dress him up as an Arab. They label the Raft "Sick Arab"in order for people not to approach him

They rummage through what used to be the robbers belongings, then tell stories. But, as they approach the merge with the Ohio River, a dense fog appears. The fog separates Huck and Jim. Once they find eachother, Huck tells Jim it was only a dream. Jim soon figures out that Huck lied, and got his feelings hurt. Huck feels bad for Jim then apologizes.

SIDE NOTE
