The Brown Fairy Book, The Brown Fairy Book, part 20, sentence 9

In the bustle and hurry of departure, the cunning fisherman contrived that their boat should be the last to put off, and when everything was ready, and the sails about to be set, he suddenly called out:

Who acts: cunning fisherman, boat, everything · What happens: contrive, be, put off, call out, hurry · To what, where: bustle, sails, departure
