Escape from a Sinking Boat

Jim and Huck continue down the river between the Missouri Mountains
and the "heavy timber" of Illinois, hiding the raft during the day and
running several hours at night. Huck convinces him that they need to
explore, then Huck and Jim sneak around in the dark and escape in
the gang's skiff (which is full of plunder), eventually catching up with
the raft. Jim goes on in the raft, while Huck takes the skiff and lies
elaborately to a ferryman so the man will rescue the rapscallion gang
on the Walter Scott. The wreck glides by, nearly submerged, but no
one answers when Huck calls out--perhaps they have all drowned.
Later that evening, Huck sees the wreck, which has come loose from
the rocks and is quietly sinking as it drifts down the river.
A General Good Time
The next day, Jim and Huck go through the spoils they got from the
gang on the Walter Scott. They inspect the stolen wares that were on
the skiff: prime cigars, clothes, books, etc. Huck finds a few books and
reads to Jim about romantic figures like kings, dukes, and earls. When
the discussion turns to royalty and King Solomon, Huck and Jim
debate Solomon's logic and refuse to agree on his wisdom.
Analysis
The arguments Huck and Jim have over Hucks stories provide remarkable
mini-allegories about slavery and race. When Huck tells the tale of King
Solomon, who threatened to chop a baby in half, Jim argues that Solomon
had so many children that he became unable to value human life properly.
Hucks comments lead us to compare Jims assessment of Solomon with
whites treatments of blacks at the timeas infinitely replaceable bodies,
indistinguishable from one another. Later, Huck tells Jim that people in
France dont speak English. Huck tries to convince the skeptical Jim by
pointing out that cat and cows dont talk the same, and that, by analogy,
neither should French people and American people. Jim points out that both
are men and that the analogy is inappropriate. Although Jim is misinformed
in a sense, he is correct in his assessment of Hucks analogy. Jims argument
provides yet another subtle reminder that, in American society at the time,
not all men are treated as men. Although Jims discussion with Huck shows
that both have clever minds, we see that Jim is less imprisoned by
conventional wisdom than Huck, who has grown up at least partly in
mainstream white society

1. - How did Jim feel about Hucks adventure on the Walter Scott?

Jim said he did not want any more adventures because he did not want to
risk getting caught, nor did he want to risk his life.
