Tanglewood Tales, Circe's Palace., part 1, sentence 5

But in each of these stout bags, King Aeolus, the ruler of the winds, had tied up a tempest, and had given it to Ulysses to keep in order that he might be sure of a favorable passage homeward to Ithaca; and when the strings were loosened, forth rushed the whistling blasts, like air out of a blown bladder, whitening the sea with foam, and scattering the vessels nobody could tell whither.

Who acts: Ulysses, whistling, scattering · What happens: tie up, give, keep, be, loosen, rush · To what, where: each, tempest, Ulysses, order, strings, sea · Speech: someone speaks here
