Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Chapter Thirty-Four Summary

Tom and Huck discern that Jim is being held in a hut near to the farmhouse. They debate over which plan would be best to steal him and escape.
Huck’s idea is fairly basic: steal Jim, leave on the raft.
But Tom and his overdeveloped sense of adventure aren’t satisfied. He wants to dig Jim out of the hut.
So they head to the hut and meet Nat, one of the Phelps’ slaves, who is incredibly superstitious (he’s afraid of witches).
The boys whisper to Jim to maintain hope, and that, since doors are for suckers, they’re going to dig him out.
