Answer:

The kind of literary device Huck is using in the sentence is:  simile.

Explanation:

A simile is a literary device used when we want to compare something to something else in order to imply that the two things have a similarity. It has, thus, the same purpose as a metaphor, with the difference that the simile relies on words such as "like" or "as" to make the comparison, while the metaphor does not. Huck is using a simile to compare the Spanish moss to gray beards in the way they hang down from the trees:

"<u>trees with Spanish moss on them, hanging down from the limbs</u> like <u>long, gray beards"</u>
