The original plan was to stop at Cairo where the Ohio River emptys into the Mississippi and then go UP the Ohio so that Jim would be free. The canoe they could have used to go back upstream is missing. They continue south in the raft hoping to find another canoe. So they continue further South into futility for Jim. Why is this?
(I am on page 77 of my Norton Critical Edition where they first realize that they missed Cairo)
