2 It warn't good judgment to put everything on the raft.
3 We stayed in the wigwam and let the raft take care of itself.
4 It was the leaves and rubbish on the raft and the smashed oar.
5 It was the raft, and mighty glad was we to get aboard of it again.
6 As soon as I got started I took out after the raft, hot and heavy, right down the towhead.
7 So he locked me in and took the skiff, and started off towing the raft about half-past three.
8 The other oar was smashed off, and the raft was littered up with leaves and branches and dirt.
9 It had clouded up pretty dark just after I got on to the raft, but it was clearing up again now.

11 We would sell the raft and get on a steamboat and go way up the Ohio amongst the free States, and then be out of trouble.
