Las aventuras de Tom Sawyer
Capítulo 14, Página 2
“I
wonder,”
said
Tom
in
a
whisper.
“’Tain’t
thunder,”
said
Huckleberry,
in
an
awed
tone,
“becuz
thunder—”
“Hark!”
said
Tom.
“Listen—don’t
talk.”
They
waited
a
time
that
seemed
an
age,
and
then
the
same
muffled
boom
troubled
the
solemn
hush.
“Let’s
go
and
see.”
They
sprang
to
their
feet
and
hurried
to
the
shore
toward
the
town.
They
parted
the
bushes
on
the
bank
and
peered
out
over
the
water.
The
little
steam
ferry-boat
was
about
a
mile
below
the
village,
drifting
with
the
current.
Her
broad
deck
seemed
crowded
with
people.
There
were
a
great
many
skiffs
rowing
about
or
floating
with
the
stream
in
the
neighborhood
of
the
ferryboat,
but
the
boys
could
not
determine
what
the
men
in
them
were
doing.
Presently
a
great
jet
of
white
smoke
burst
from
the
ferryboat’s
side,
and
as
it
expanded
and
rose
in
a
lazy
cloud,
that
same
dull
throb
of
sound
was
borne
to
the
listeners
again.
“I
know
now!”
exclaimed
Tom;
“somebody’s
drownded!”
“That’s
it!”
said
Huck;
“they
done
that
last
summer,
when
Bill
Turner
got
drownded;
they
shoot
a
cannon
over
the
water,
and
that
makes
him
come
up
to
the
top.
Yes,
and
they
take
loaves
of
bread
and
put
quicksilver
in
’em
and
set
’em
afloat,
and
wherever
there’s
anybody
that’s
drownded,
they’ll
float
right
there
and
stop.”
