The Jungle Book, The Jungle Book, part 10, sentence 146

At the lowest counting there were over a million seals on the beach--old seals, mother seals, tiny babies, and holluschickie, fighting, scuffling, bleating, crawling, and playing together--going down to the sea and coming up from it in gangs and regiments, lying over every foot of ground as far as the eye could reach, and skirmishing about in brigades through the fog.

Who acts: eye · What happens: fight, scuffle, bleat, crawl, play, go down · To what, where: baby, foot, fog
