The needle was floated in water in the first crude compass to reduce friction and allow it to move freely in response to Earth's magnetic field. This helped the needle align itself with the Earth's magnetic north and south poles, indicating direction.
The first compasses were made out of lodestone, a naturally occurring magnetic rock. The lodestone was typically floated on a piece of wood or straw in water to allow it to align with the Earth's magnetic field, indicating the cardinal directions.
If she floated she was considered a witch. If she drowned she was considered innocent.
