Drowned Bodies and n Loaf of Bread.
There il curious and widespread belief
that the whereabouts of q drowned man
may be ascertained by floating a loaf OF
bread down q stream, when it will stop
over the spot where the body is. A curious
account of q body thus recovered near Hull
appeared some years back in the Gentle
mans Magazine. "After diligent search had
been made in the river for the child, to no
purpose, q txo-penny LOAF, with q quantity
OF quicksilver pat into it, vas set floating
from the place where the child wac supposed
to have fallen in. which steered its course
down the river upward of o hall q mile,
when, the body happening to lie on the con-
trary side OF the river, the loaf suddenly
tackled about and swan across the river,
and gradually sank near the child, when
both the child and the loai were brought ND
With the grapplerE ready for the purpose"
A correspondent OF Notes and Queries main
tains that it is q scientific fact that a loaf
and quicksilver indicate the position of
the body, as the weighted loaf Is carried by
the current just as the body is. This prac-
tice, too, prevails on the continent; and in
Germany the name of the drowned person
10 inscribed IN the piece of bread, while in
France loayes consecrated to ST. Nicholas,
with q lIghte1 q taper in them, have
generally been employed for that purpose.

upon them that possibly America with it's
