## Contents
This chapter recounts the aftermath of Tom Sawyer and Becky Thatcher’s rescue from McDougal’s Cave. It opens with the joyous celebration in St. Petersburg upon their return, describing public rejoicing, emotional reunions, and Tom’s dramatic retelling of their ordeal. The narrative then shifts to the physical toll of their ordeal, with both children bedridden and recovering. Tom visits Huck Finn, who is also convalescing, and learns of recent events, including the discovery of the “ragged man’s” drowned body—later revealed to be Injun Joe. The chapter culminates in a moment of dramatic irony when Judge Thatcher boasts that the cave has been sealed with iron doors and locked, prompting Tom to realize with horror that Injun Joe is now trapped inside, leading to the chilling final line: “Injun Joe’s in the cave!”
