Quote #1

"Were your friend's remains now on board this ship, Don Benito, not thus strangely would the mention of his name affect you." (51.72)

Delano doesn't get a lot of things right, but he seems to intuitively know that Aranda's body is still on board. What's that about?

Quote #2

This poor fellow now, thought the pained American, is the victim of that sad superstition which associates goblins with the deserted body of man, as ghosts with an abandoned house. (51.73)

While we've never heard this particular suspicion, a goblin-infested body seems like it could be an interesting plot development on The Walking Dead.

Quote #3

Has he been robbing the trunks of dead cabin passengers? (57.119)

This seems like a pretty specific thing for Delano to focus on, but he's used to keeping a crew in check. Is it possible this was a problem on his own ship?
