Chapter 12
Finally, Jim and Huck get near their campsite, but the see another boat close to the Illinois shore. They stayed away from their camp, but Huck was still worried. They sit down at their camp, and talk about what the lady had told Huck. They then built a wigwam to keep all of their belongings safe and out of sight. They had good weather for the next couple of days and they spent their nights talking and laughing.
Huck spent his days going into town and buying little meals to feed both him and Jim. He would also “borrow” fruits and vegetables from the nearest farms and fields. On another day, Jim and Huck see a ship that has broken against the rocks. Huck is curious and wants to get on the ship, but Jim advises against it.

They looked everywhere but to no avail. After looking along the shore, they finally find their canoe, but before they could reach it, a man came out of his ship and were in the two boys’ way. Two men started talking, but then took their conversation back indoors. Huck and Jim then go in their canoe and sail off. They try to get to a place where they can hide and not be seen by the murderers.
After a night of rain, Huck and Jim see a flash that came from another raft. They try to get aboard it, and they succeed. Then Huck goes to see if the watchman is on the boat. He sees him but puts on a sob story to fool him. Huck tells the watchman that his family is on a wreck and that he needs to take Huck there. Huck makes up many lies that motivate the watchman to get to the wreck as quick as possible. While the ferry is about to go, he gets off and heads toward his canoe. He takes his canoe and heads toward his campsite, where Jim is waiting for him. Huck gets there and him and Jim fall asleep.
