Chapter 9: Jim and Huck go to the middle of the island where there is a cavern. The cavern was a marvelous size and was high enough for Jim to stand in. They stayed in the cavern that night, because the birds told Jim it was going to rain. A thunderstorm came later that night. The river rose so much that of there was three to four feet water in the low parts of the island. Jim and Huck used the canoe to get around the island. At night, they searched for things floating down the river. One day, they found a house with a dead man inside. Jim and Huck found many useful items in the house. After retrieving the items, Jim and Huck let the house continue down the river.
Chapter 10: Huck and Jim found eight dollars in silver sewed inside one of the coats they took from the house. Although this was good luck, they were still waiting for the bad luck they would receive for touching the skin of a snake. One day, Huck killed a rattlesnake that was in the cavern and put it beside Jim's blanket. Huck forgot that a snake's mate curls up next to its dead mate. When Jim crawled into bed, he was bit. It took four days and nights for his leg to return to normal. After awhile, Huck got the idea that he wanted to in to the main land to get information. Jim dressed Huck up as a girl, Huck sailed to an unfamiliar Illinois town.
