I got injured and I couldn’t swim fast, so I jist followed Huck slowly. When Huck git ashore, some man wuz takin’ to him, then they made him go into a room. I got afraid and ran away ‘cause I got a feelin’ dat they would take me back to slavery. I ran in to the woods and waited there. I didn’t know what to do. If I go ashore, I will get cot, but I can’t leave Huck alone. I walked aroun’ in the woods and fond out dat there is no food nor water. I felt desperate, I don’t wanna die here. I wanna git mah wife an’ git my child and live a peaceful life, an’ thas all I wan’. I didn’t know how did I went to sleep dat day.

I jist can’t, sorry.” Says I. I didn’t feel safe enough to tell him the truth. Jack asked me no more questions after that.
