Lost in McDougal's Cave

Tom and Becky wander deep into the cave, becoming hopelessly lost. They run out of candles and food, surviving on wedding cake and water. Tom explores a passage and sees a hand holding a candle—Injun Joe's—but Joe flees. Tom eventually finds a small hole that leads to the Mississippi River, and they escape.
