Description
Summary:wind When he [the fisherman] went fishing in the morning, the sun being up for two or three hours, he would some- times see a cluster of colours off to the right or the left of the sun. It looked like "a piece of rainbow" although it definitely wasn't that since it hadn't rained. When these colours could be seen it meant high winds were coming. He explained that some people referred to these colours as "the sun hound". Mr. R. believed the "wind hound" was a reliable sign. These colours were shades of red, blue and yellow.
