Document Summary
The duke and the dauphin ask whether jim is a runaway slave. Huck makes up a story about how he was orphaned and tells them that he and jim have been forced to travel at night since so many people stopped his boat to ask whether jim was a runaway. That night, the duke and the dauphin take huck"s and jim"s beds while huck and jim stand watch against a storm. The next morning, the duke gets the dauphin to agree to put on a performance of shakespeare in the next town they pass. They reach the town and find that everyone in the town has left for a religious revival meeting in the woods, a lively affair with several thousand people singing and shouting. The dauphin gets up and tells the crowd that he is a former pirate, now reformed by the revival meeting, who will return to the indian ocean as a missionary.
