A unexpected find

While looking for food, Huck finds a smoking campfire. After searching, Huck finds Jim. Jim was trying to run away from Miss Watson because she was going to sell him to someone from New Orleans. He didn't want to be separated from his family. In disguise Huck enters the woman's house and introduces himself as "Sarah Williams from Hookerville." Thinking Huck is a girl the woman talks freely about the town's events and the reward money, and Hucks 'murder'. The town thought that the runaway slave "Tom" was the one who murdered Huck. Pap and Jim were still suspects so the town offered an award of $300 for Jim and $200 for Pap. Huck becomes nervous when he finds out that the woman's husband and another man are heading for Jackson's Island to search for Jim. The woman figures out that Huck is not a girl, and Huck makes up another tale for explanation. Huck rushes back to Jackson's Island and wakes Jim with the news that they have to leave so they begin down the river on a raft.
