the runaway huckster

 Huck has managed to fake his death and meet a man named Jim on Jackson Island where Huck decided to live after he disappeared. To fake his death all he did was make it look like a robber broke in from the back of the cabin and stole food and other valuables and then he broke into the shed and killed Huck himself. He killed a pig and used its blood to dirty up his jacket and left it behind. Then Huck left a trail of food leading in the opposite direction that he was planning on going to lead the search party in the wrong direction.
