Chapter 12: Huck and Jim travel away from the island on a raft. They only travel at night to avoid being seen. When Huck and Jim needed food or supplies, they would hunt or steal it. As for stealing, they felt sort of bad so they put some stuff back. While sailing, Huck and Jim come upon a wrecked steam ship. Huck decides to explore it against Jim's wishes. Aboard the ship were three robbers. Two of the robbers were going to let the third drown with the ship. Huck wanted to balance out the stealing by cutting the ship's ties so none of the robbers could escape. Unfortunately, the raft Jim and Huck had floated away. In order for themselves to get away, they took the robber's boat.
Chapter 13: Huck and Jim find their raft and pull both the raft and the boat to shore. Huck feels bad for leaving the robbers, because Huck considers himself a robber also. On shore, Huck convinces a ferryboat operator to come and help. He believes the Widow Douglas would have been proud of him for helping. As the steamboat drifts by, it is clear to Huck and Jim that the robbers did not survive.
Chapter 14: Jim and Huck find many valuable items in the robbers' boat. Their treasures included cigars, clothes, and a lot of books. Huck read one book while waiting for nightfall. Jim tells Huck that he does not like adventure stories but is astonished by the stories of kings from the book. Huck and Jim argue about different parts of the stories. In the end they both stay convinced of their side.
