Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Little Mermaid, part 2, sentence 2

The colored lanterns had been extinguished, no more rockets rose in the air, and the cannon had ceased firing; but the sea became restless, and a moaning, grumbling sound could be heard beneath the waves: still the little mermaid remained by the cabin window, rocking up and down on the water, which enabled her to look in.

Who acts: colored lanterns, more rockets, sea, moaning, water · What happens: be, rise, cease, become, grumble, hear · To what, where: air, cannon, sound, moaning, little mermaid, water
