Why

THAT

'S

all

right

.

Miss

Hooker

she

tole

me

,

PARTICULAR

,

that

her

uncle

Hornback

--

"

"

Great

guns

!

is

HE

her

uncle

?

Looky

here

,

you

break

for

that

light

over

yonder-way

,

and

turn

out

west

when

you

git

there

,

and

about

a

quarter

of

a

mile

out

you

'll

come

to

the

tavern

;

tell

'em

to

dart

you

out

to

Jim

Hornback

's

,

and

he

'll

foot

the

bill

.

And

do

n't

you

fool

around

any

,

because

he

'll

want

to

know

the

news

.

Tell

him

I

'll

have

his

niece

all

safe

before

he

can

get

to

town

.

Hump

yourself

,

now

;

I

'm

a-going

up

around

the

corner

here

to

roust

out

my

engineer

I

struck

for

the

light

,

but

as

soon

as

he

turned

the

corner

I

went

back

and

got

into

my

skiff

and

bailed

her

out

,

and

then

pulled

up

shore

in

the

easy

water

about

six

hundred

yards

,

and

tucked

myself

in

among

some

woodboats

;

for

I

could

n't

rest

easy

till

I

could

see

the

ferryboat

start

.

But

take

it

all

around

,

I

was

feeling

ruther

comfortable

on

accounts

of

taking

all

this

trouble

for

that

gang

,

for

not

many

would

a

done

it

.

I

wished

the

widow

knowed

about

it

.

I

judged

she

would

be

proud

of

me

for

helping

these

rapscallions

,

because

rapscallions

and

dead

beats

is

the

kind

the

widow

and

good

people

takes

the

most

interest

in

.

Well

,

before

long

here

comes

the

wreck

,

dim

and

dusky

,

sliding

along

down

!

A

kind

of

cold

shiver

went

through

me

,

and

then

I

struck

out

for

her

.

She

was

very

deep

,

and

I

see

in

a

minute

there

war

n't

much

chance

for

anybody

being

alive

in

her

.

I

pulled

all

around

her

and

hollered

a

little

,

but

there

was

n't

any

answer

;

all

dead

still

.

I

felt

a

little

bit

heavy-hearted

about

the

gang

,

but

not

much

,

for

I

reckoned

if

they

could

stand

it

I

could

Then

here

comes

the

ferryboat

;

so

I

shoved

for

the

middle

of

the

river

on

a

long

down-stream

slant

;

and

when

I

judged

I

was

out

of

eye-reach

I

laid

on

my

oars

,

and

looked

back

and

see

her

go

and

smell

around

the

wreck

for

Miss

Hooker

's

remainders

,

because

the

captain

would

know

her

uncle

Hornback

would

want

them

;

and

then

pretty

soon

the

ferryboat

give

it

up

and

went

for

the

shore

,

and

I

laid

into

my

work

and

went

a-booming

down

the

river

.

It

did

seem

a

powerful

long

time

before

Jim

's

light

showed

up

;

and

when

it

did

show

it

looked

like

it

was

a

thousand

mile

off

.

By

the

time

I

got

there

the

sky

was

beginning

to

get

a

little

gray

in

the

east

;

so

we

struck

for

an

island

,

and

hid

the

raft

,

and

sunk

the

skiff

,

and

turned

in

and

slept

like

dead

people

.

BY

and

by

,

when

we

got

up

,

we

turned

over

the

truck

the

gang

had

stole

off

of

the

wreck

,

and

found

boots

,

and

blankets

,

and

clothes

,

and

all

sorts

of

other

things

,

and

a

lot

of

books

,

and

a

spyglass

,

and

three

boxes

of

seegars

.

We

had

n't

ever

been

this

rich

before

in

neither

of

our

lives

.

The

seegars

was

prime

.

We

laid

off

all

the

afternoon

in

the

woods

talking

,

and

me

reading

the

books

,

and

having

a

general

good

time

.

I

told

Jim

all

about

what

happened

inside

the

wreck

and

at

the

ferryboat

,

and

I

said

these

kinds

of

things

was

adventures

;

but

he

said

he

did

n't

want

no

more

adventures

.

He

said

that

when

I

went

in

the

texas

and

he

crawled

back

to

get

on

the

raft

and

found

her

gone

he

nearly

died

,

because

he

judged

it

was

all

up

with

HIM

anyway

it

could

be

fixed

;

for

if

he

did

n't

get

saved

he

would

get

drownded

;

and

if

he

did

get

saved

,

whoever

saved

him

would

send

him

back

home

so

as

to

get

the

reward

,

and

then

Miss

Watson

would

sell

him

South

,

sure

.

Well

,

he

was

right

;

he

was

most

always

right

;

he

had

an

uncommon

level

head

for

a

nigger

.

I

read

considerable

to

Jim

about

kings

and

dukes

and

earls

and

such

,

and

how

gaudy

they

dressed

,

and

how

much

style

they

put

on

,

and

called

each

other

your

majesty

,

and

your

grace

,

and

your

lordship

,

and

so

on

,

's

tead

of

mister

;

and

Jim

's

eyes

bugged

out

,

and

he

was

interested

.

He

says

:

"

I

didn

'

know

dey

so

many

un

I

hai

n't
