## Contents
The chapter details Huck Finn’s visit to the Welshman the morning after an attempted burglary at the Widow Douglas’s house. Fearing retaliation, Huck reveals that one of the attackers was Injun Joe in disguise as a deaf-mute Spaniard. The Welshman and his sons recount their failed attempt to apprehend the men, having been foiled by a sneeze. Huck’s anxious reaction upon hearing they captured a bundle—relieved to learn it contained only burglar tools, not the treasure he and Tom Sawyer hoped to claim—reveals his secret knowledge of the missing gold. The narrative shifts when news spreads that Tom and Becky Thatcher are missing, believed to be lost in McDougal’s Cave, prompting a massive search effort. The chapter ends with Huck falling delirious from fever, tended by the Widow Douglas, while the town anxiously awaits news from the cave.
