Chapter 3: Jordan learns more about the little boy he met earlier. The little boy is Uriah Henning, Jordan’s great-great-great-great grandpa and a working slave. They were looking for the same watch, which did not belong to Jordan’s grandpa anymore, but Uriah’s master from Hilltop. Jordan is determined to find the watch before Uriah because that is the only way back. Soon Jordan hears galloping and doesn’t know what to do, but Uriah directs Jordan to hide, which he does. He learns the people are paddyrollers, who are people like the police. They asked Uriah multiple questions like where he came from, where his pass was (a note from a slave’s master stating why they are off their ground), what he was doing in swamp woods, etc. Once the paddyrollers left, Jordan and Uriah resumed looking for the watch, but Uriah eventually gave up looking for the watch and Jordan tried to convince Uriah to continue, but Uriah didn’t listen.

Jordan tries threatening Travis, by telling him he would tell the police, and Travis laughs at Jordan’s attempt at threatening him. Travis also calls Jordan a nigger which makes him furious, making him even more determined to get the watch
