I watched for a long time but I didn’t see anyone. I went back to my tent and tried to sleep. I didn’t feel safe any more. The next day I went exploring. I kept my gun with me all the time. After a while I saw a fire through the trees. I went up to it very slowly and very quietly. A man was lying on the ground near the fire. He was asleep but there was a blanket over his head so I couldn’t see his face. I hid behind a bush and waited. I had to wait for a long time and it was starting to get dark when the man finally woke up. He stood up and took off the blanket. It was Jim， Miss Watson’s slave！ I jumped out and ran up to him.
“Jim！” I said. “It’s me， Huck！”
“Huck！ Is it really you？” Jim said， with a big smile.
“Yes， Jim， and I’m really happy to see you. But what are you doing here？”
“Well， alright then. The other day a businessman from New Orleans came to the house. I knew that Miss Watson wanted to sell me. I was scared. Then I ran away and hid on the island.”
We sat there chatting for a long time. I liked talking to Jim because he knew a lot of things. He understood signs. He knew which ones meant good luck and which ones meant bad luck. He knew which signs meant bad weather， too. When he saw some birds flying low in the sky， he said， “It’s going to rain later， Huck. We must find a dry place to make a camp.”
The next day we climbed to the top of a big hill in the middle of the island and found a cave in the rock.
“This is a good place，” Jim said. “Let’s make our camp here！”
