Chapter 33 summary
  • Everyone rushes back to the cave.  Injun Joe is found dead at the door.

  • Tom and Huck head back to the hole where Tom and Becky escaped from the cave.
  • In the cave, Tom stumbles upon the piece of useless candle he and Becky left stuck to the cave wall. They go to where Tom saw Injun Joe in the cave, where there is a cross drawn in smoke on a big rock nearby.
  • Huck is rather spooked by the whole thing, but Tom helps him keep it together.
  • The boys stumble upon an area in the cave strewn with blankets and old pieces of meat –there's no treasure chest in sight.

  • Sid shows up and tells Tom that the party is for the Welshman and his sons, in order to congratulate them for helping her out.
  • Sid also mentions that the Widow Douglas has some kind of secret she is going to share -  the story about Huck tracking Joe and his accomplice.
  • Sid tells Tom and Huck that maybe he was the one responsible for letting everyone know about Huck's involvement.
  • Tom hits Sid and sends him running.
  • When everyone is downstairs, the Welshman, otherwise known as Mr. Jones, tells Huck's story and thanks him for his help.
