Legends and tales of the Harz Mountains, Legends and Tales., part 11, sentence 118

The coalers clung to the rocky walls, but Princess Ilse looked calmly on the wild scene, saw the rocks rent on which her father's castle stood, and it, her lover, father, and servants all swept away; and as she too was about to perish, a tall manly form, with majestic head and black locks--probably the Fairy King--seized her in his strong arms, wrapped her in a white mantle, and vanished.

Who acts: coalers, Princess, rocks, castle, servants · What happens: cling, look, see, rent, stand, lover · To what, where: Princess, strong arms, white mantle · Speech: someone speaks here
