  1. There was a man living in the townland of Crossard in the year 1839 the night of the big wind. He went out to secure the stack of wheat, but a shower of salt water from the sea blinded him. He shouted for his wife “Biddy,” I am blind” said he. “You are not” said she, the devil is out to night.
