"Well, then I happened to think how they always put quicksilver in loaves of bread and float them off because they always go right to the drowned carcass and stop there."

I found it interesting how they have all these old timey methods to find dead bodies. Quicksilver, another name for the element Mercury, in loaves of bread is defiantly a new method that must be researched some more upon. Another thing that grabbed my attention was the name "quicksilver", instead of using the original name of mercury. It could have just been the common name during Mark Twain's I am guessing.
