Well, before long here comes the wreck, dim and dusky, sliding along down! A kind of cold shiver went through me, and then I struck out for her. She was very deep, and I see in a minute there warn’t much chance for anybody being alive in her. I pulled all around her and hollered a little, but there wasn’t any answer; all dead still. I felt a little bit heavy-hearted about the gang, but not much, for I reckoned if they could stand it I could.
– Mark Twain
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Chapter 13. At first Huck had wanted to see the gang of robbers on the wreck hanged. But he felt guilty because they were in danger and summoned help. Before the rescue ferryboat arrives, he watches the wreck slide down the river and feels a “shiver” over the gang’s fate.
