The Yellow Fairy Book, The Flying Ship(24), sentence 116

And sure enough, when the forty casks of wine containing forty gallons each were brought alongside of the ship, they disappeared down the thirsty comrade’s throat in no time; and when they were empty he remarked:

Who acts: forty casks, forty gallons, casks, comrade · What happens: contain, bring, disappear, be, remark · To what, where: forty gallons, each
