1"Boy, that's a lie. What is the matter with your pap? Answer up square now, and it'll be the better for you." "I will,
2sir, I will, honest--but don't leave us, please. It's the--the--gentlemen, if you'll only pull ahead, and let me heave
3you the headline, you won't have to come a-near the raft--please do." "Set her back, John, set her back!" says one. They
4backed water. "Keep away, boy--keep to looard. Confound it, I just expect the wind has blowed it to us. Your pap's got
5the small-pox, and you know it precious well. Why didn't you come out and say so? Do you want to spread it all over?"
6"Well," says I, a-blubbering, "I've told everybody before, and they just went away and left us." "Poor devil, there's
7something in that. We are right down sorry for you, but we--well, hang it, we don't want the small-pox, you see. Look
8here, I'll tell you what to do. Don't you try to land by yourself, or you'll smash everything to pieces. You float along
9down about twenty miles, and you'll come to a town on the left-hand side of the river. It will be long after sun-up
10then, and when you ask for help you tell them your folks are all down with chills and fever. Don't be a fool again, and
11let people guess what is the matter. Now we're trying to do you a kindness; so you just put twenty miles between us,
12that's a good boy. It wouldn't do any good to land yonder where the light is--it's only a wood-yard. Say, I reckon your
13father's poor, and I'm bound to say he's in pretty hard luck. Here, I'll put a twenty-dollar gold piece on this board,
14and you get it when it floats by. I feel mighty mean to leave you; but my kingdom! it won't do to fool with small-pox,
15don't you see?" "Hold on, Parker," says the other man, "here's a twenty to put on the board for me. Good-bye, boy; you
16do as Mr. Parker told you, and you'll be all right." "That's so, my boy--good-bye, good-bye. If you see any runaway
17niggers you get help and nab them, and you can make some money by it." "Good-bye, sir," says I; "I won't let no runaway
18niggers get by me if I can help it." They went off and I got aboard the raft, feeling bad and low, because I knowed very
19well I had done wrong, and I see it warn't no use for me to try to learn to do right; a body that don't get started
20right when he's little ain't got no show--when the pinch comes there ain't nothing to back him up and keep him to his
21work, and so he gets beat. Then I thought a minute, and says to myself, hold on; s'pose you'd a done right and give Jim
22up, would you felt better than what you do now? No, says I, I'd feel bad--I'd feel just the same way I do now. Well,
23then, says I, what's the use you learning to do right when it's troublesome to do right and ain't no trouble to do
24wrong, and the wages is just the same? I was stuck. I couldn't answer that. So I reckoned I wouldn't bother no more
25about it, but after this always do whichever come handiest at the time. I went into the wigwam; Jim warn't there. I
26looked all around; he warn't anywhere. I says: "Jim!" "Here I is, Huck. Is dey out o' sight yit? Don't talk loud." He
27was in the river under the stern oar, with just his nose out. I told him they were out of sight, so he come aboard. He
28says: "I was a-listenin' to all de talk, en I slips into de river en was gwyne to shove for sho' if dey come aboard. Den
29I was gwyne to swim to de raf' agin when dey was gone. But lawsy, how you did fool 'em, Huck! Dat wuz de smartes' dodge!
30I tell you, chile, I 'speck it save' ole Jim--ole Jim ain't going to forgit you for dat, honey." Then we talked about
31the money. It was a pretty good raise--twenty dollars apiece. Jim said we could take deck passage on a steamboat now,
32and the money would last us as far as we wanted to go in the free States. He said twenty mile more warn't far for the
33raft to go, but he wished we was already there. Towards daybreak we tied up, and Jim was mighty particular about hiding
34the raft good. Then he worked all day fixing things in bundles, and getting all ready to quit rafting. That night about
35ten we hove in sight of the lights of a town away down in a left-hand bend. I went off in the canoe to ask about it.
36Pretty soon I found a man out in the river with a skiff, setting a trot-line. I ranged up and says: "Mister, is that
37town Cairo?" "Cairo? no. You must be a blame' fool." "What town is it, mister?" "If you want to know, go and find out.
38If you stay here botherin' around me for about a half a minute longer you'll get something you won't want." I paddled to
39the raft. Jim was awful disappointed, but I said never mind, Cairo would be the next place, I reckoned. We passed
40another town before daylight, and I was going out again; but it was high ground, so I didn't go. No high ground about
41Cairo, Jim said. I had forgot it. We laid up for the day on a tow-head tolerable close to the left-hand bank. I begun to
42suspicion something. So did Jim. I says: "Maybe we went by Cairo in the fog that night." He says: "Doan' le's talk about
43it, Huck. Po' niggers can't have no luck. I awluz 'spected dat rattlesnake-skin warn't done wid its work." "I wish I'd
44never seen that snake-skin, Jim--I do wish I'd never laid eyes on it." "It ain't yo' fault, Huck; you didn' know. Don't
45you blame yo'self 'bout it." When it was daylight, here was the clear Ohio water inshore, sure enough, and outside was
46the old regular Muddy! So it was all up with Cairo. We talked it all over. It wouldn't do to take to the shore; we
47couldn't take the raft up the stream, of course. There warn't no way but to wait for dark, and start back in the canoe
48and take the chances. So we slept all day amongst the cottonwood thicket, so as to be fresh for the work, and when we
49went back to the raft about dark the canoe was gone! We didn't say a word for a good while. There warn't anything to
50say. We both knowed well enough it was some more work of the rattlesnake-skin; so what was the use to talk about it? It
51would only look like we was finding fault, and that would be bound to fetch more bad luck--and keep on fetching it, too,
52till we knowed enough to keep still. By-and-by we talked about what we better do, and found there warn't no way but just
53to go along down with the raft till we got a chance to buy a canoe to go back in. We warn't going to borrow it when
54there warn't anybody around, the way pap would do, for that might set people after us. So we shoved out after dark on
55the raft. Anybody that don't believe yet that it's foolishness to handle a snake-skin, after all that that snake-skin
56done for us, will believe it now if they read on and see what more it done for us. The place to buy canoes is off of
57rafts laying up at shore. But we didn't see no rafts laying up; so we went along during three hours and more. Well, the
58night got gray and ruther thick, which is the next meanest thing to fog. You can't tell the shape of the river, and you
59can't see no distance. It got to be very late and still, and then along comes a steamboat up the river. We lit the
60lantern, and judged she would see it. Up-stream boats didn't generly come close to us; they go out and follow the bars
61and hunt for easy water under the reefs; but nights like this they bull right up the channel against the whole river.
