By covering the dead man's face and refusing to let him look at him, Jim shows tenderness and concern for Huck, even though Huck hasn't shown the same kindness to him. Also, Jim knows what Huck does not - that the dead body is that of Huck's father.
Huck goes to shore disguised as a girl, and identifies himself as Sarah Williams to Mrs. Lathrop, whose house he visits. Later, in conversation, he says his name is Mary Williams, a slip which Mrs. Lathrop catches immediately.
