Celtic Fairy Tales, Connla and the Fairy Maiden, part 3, sentence 3

The sound increased, and at first it was like the beating of waves on a stony shore, and then it was like the falling of a great waterfall, and at last it was like a loud storm in the tops of the trees, and then the whirlwind burst into the rath of one rout, and the sheehogues were in it.

Who acts: sound, whirlwind, sheehogues · What happens: increase, be, burst · To what, where: tops, rath, sound
