The next day, Jim and Huck go through the spoils they got from the gang on the Walter Scott. Huck’s excitement about their new treasure is tempered by Jim’s fear that they might have been caught or drowned. After listening to Jim, Huck realizes that, as usual, Jim is right.
Among the blankets, clothes, and cigars, 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.
