Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, Anne Lisbeth, sentence 23

Late in the autumn, when the weather was rough, windy, and wet, and the cold penetrated through the thickest clothing, especially at sea, a wretched boat went out to sea with only two men on board, or, more correctly, a man and a half, for it was the skipper and his boy.

Who acts: weather, cold, boat · What happens: be, penetrate, go out · To what, where: cold, thickest clothing
