The steamer's engine exploded. Jim finds Huck in the water with him and saves him, and they catch up while fleeing north, trying to figure out what to do now that they hear a war between n and s has begun

The plan of selling Jim to her money and then having him escape didn't work out quite so well. They're running as hard as ever, having managed to get on a steamer on the river.

Runaway from the minstrel group now, and into part 2 of the book.

Many misadventures with the Duke and the King, then Jim gets left to be a replacement blacksmith where his singing gets him in with a traveling minstrel group. He performs with them and then gets a fright after the show from the father of a girl that was talking to him, thinking him white and in blackface.

Jim and Huck are off the island after Huck's reconnaissance on the shore, and they've got a makeshift raft for going down the river.

Jim hides on the island when he learns he might be getting sold. Huck turns up there, too, after pretending he'd been killed by his abusive "pap."
