The Red Fairy Book, The Princess Mayblossom, part 2, sentence 69

And when the old boatman saw that he was in earnest, he told all he knew about the cavalier and the lady whom he had landed upon Squirrel Island, and the Admiral knew it must be the Princess and Fanfaronade; so he gave the order for the fleet to surround the island.

Who acts: old boatman, boatman, Admiral, deaf · What happens: see, be, tell, know, land, give · To what, where: all, lady, Princess, order, island · Speech: someone speaks here
