Part II 
In the evening Mr. Shelby told his wife that he had sold Tom and little Harry to Haley. 
Elisa was in the next room and heard the conversation. She decided to take her boy and 
run away to Canada, where Negroes were free. She packed some of her things, took the 
boy in her arms and quietly left the house. 
To get to Canada Elisa had to cross the Ohio River. She knew the road to the river, as she 
had of ten gone with her mistress to visit some friends in the little village near the Ohio 
River. Elisa walked all the night. In the morning, when people and horses began to move 
along the road, she sat down behind the trees and gave little Harry something to eat. After 
a short rest they continued their way. In the afternoon she stopped at a small farm-house to 
rest and buy some dinner for the boy and herself. 
When the sun was already low, they came to the Ohio River. Elisa was tired but strong in 
heart. She looked at the river that was on her way to freedom. It was spring and the river 
was swollen, large pieces of ice were floating in the water. She understood that it would be 
difficult to get a boat and cross the river at such a time. 
At a small inn she asked about the boats. The woman there told Elisa that the boats had 
stopped running, and she looked with curiosity at the woman and her child. 
"My boy is dangerously ill, I walked the whole day in the hope to get to the boat," said 
Elisa. The woman was sorry for the poor mother and asked her husband for advice.

"He said he would try. There is a man who crosses the river very often. He will be here to 
supper in the evening, so you may stay here and wait," said the woman. "Take the child 
into this room" continued she, opening the door into a. small bedroom, where stood a 
comfortable bed. 
Elisa put the tired boy upon the bed, and held his hands in hers till he was asleep. There 
was no rest for her. She was afraid that the trader and her master would follow her and 
take little Harry away from her. Elisa stood at the window looking at the river. "How can I 
get to the other side?" she thought. "I must get over the river with my child, then no one 
will be able to catch us." 
Suddenly she heard men's voices and saw Haley. Her room had a door opening to the 
river. She caught up the boy and ran down to the river. The men saw her and started 
running after her. She heard their shouts. In a moment she jumped onto a large piece of ice 
in the river. It was a dangerous jump. Haley and the men cried something to her and lifted 
their hands. The piece of ice creaked as Elisa jumped onto it, but she did not stay there. 
She jumped to another and still another piece, falling and jumping again. She lost her 
shoes, her stocking were cut from her feet, blood marked her every step on the ice; but 
Elisa saw nothing, felt nothing, till, as in a dream, she saw the other bank of the Ohio, and 
a man helping her up the bank.
