Excerpt from Cape Breton TalesWhen once the ice has done passing down there, they say which may happen any time now - you will see! Perhaps all in a day the change will come. The fog that creeps in so cold at night it will all be sucked up; the sky will be clear as glass down to the very edge of the water.
