Huck learns that Jim is suspected of being a runaway slave and that there is a reward offered for his capture. Mrs. Loftus advises Huck to turn Jim in, but Huck decides to help Jim escape instead.
Mrs. Loftus knew Huck was a boy because he couldn't remember his previous name, he had an ill-fitting dress on, and he didn't thread a needle like a girl would.
Mrs. Loftus helps Huck disguise himself as a girl so he can gather information about the town without being recognized. This allows Huck to navigate society more freely and sets the stage for his further adventures. Mrs. Loftus also provides insight into the town's reaction to Huck's supposed drowning, revealing more about the characters and dynamics in the story.
Huck tells Mrs. Loftus that his family's steamboat had sunk, and he was the only one who survived. He then explains that he had been traveling ever since, trying to reach his uncle in Cairo.
In 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn,' Huck learned that Mrs. Loftus' husband was going to use a gun to capture and turn in his friend, Jim for the reward money. While she was compassionate toward Huck's plight as a runaway child, she had no such compassion for a runaway slave.
Mrs. Loftus discovers that Huck is not a girl when he reveals his ability to thread a needle with both hands. Typically, girls are expected to have more refined sewing skills, but Huck's proficiency with both hands gives him away as a boy.
