The summary of chapters 14-16 of The adventures of huckleberry Finn:

The following day, Jim and Huck sort over the loot they took from the Walter Scott gang. Jim's concern that they might have been captured or drowned dampens Huck's delight over their new find. Jim is right as always, Huck realizes after hearing him out.

Huck discovers a few books about romantic historical individuals like kings,earls among the blankets, clothing, etc. He then reads these books to Jim. When the topic of royalty and King Solomon comes up, Huck and Jim argue over his reasoning and are unable to come to an agreement.

Jim and Huck think that three more nights will take them to Cairo, Illinois, from whence they may board a steamboat and travel to the free states along the Ohio River. However, a thick fog descends on the second night, and the powerful current separates Huck and Jim. Huck chooses to take "one little cat-nap" after unsuccessfully trying to reach Jim. He awakens many hours later to a clear sky.

Jim, who has recently seen Huck again, is in tears when he finally finds him. Huck decides to pretend that Jim has been dreaming and that he has spent the entire night on the raft rather than celebrating their reunion. Jim is initially concerned, then becomes perplexed before realizing Huck is lying.

He reprimands Huck for the joke and calls him "trash" for treating his pal in such a way. After a short while, Huck is so embarrassed that he apologizes to Jim. Huck must go ashore to assess their progress, Jim and Huck decide. Huck battles his guilt at aiding a servent's escape while Jim is clearly excited. When Jim threatens to kidnap his kids to free them from servent, Huck determines he must land and report Jim to the police. However, when Jim runs into locals, Huck steps in to cover for him instead of rushing  at morning to clear his agreement.

Soon after, Huck and Jim discover they have passed Cairo in the fog when they spot the Ohio River's crystal-clear water. When a ship wrecks the raft, they decide to buy another canoe and move upriver, but this separates them once more.
