Jim kidnaps Judge Thatcher who is surprised by the way Jim talks and can read - Jim scolds him for all he’s done and just because he gave them breaks when it was hot or fewer lashes, he’s still a white slaver - mars him row Jim up river and tell him where his wife and daughter are - a place called Edina (where they breed slaves) so Jim heads that way after tying up Judge
