8. If the cat sits with hits back to the fire or the dog eats blades of green grass rain is sure to come within twelve hours.
9. Should the smallest 'Cas' (fog) appear on Mt. Gabriel rain is expected any moment.
10. Seamen consider that the cas of Mt. Gabriel if it goes to sea in the morning is a sure sign of a fine spell.
