It is sad to know that not a boy was looking at her as Smee tied her to the mast; the eyes of all were on the plank: that last little walk they were about to take.

Who acts: It, boy, Smee, eyes, that, boys · What happens: be, know, look, tie, walk, take · To what, where: Curly, plank · Speech: someone speaks here
