Tanglewood Tales, The Golden Fleece., part 3, sentence 11

Lynceus, on account of his sharp sight, was stationed as a look-out in the prow, where he saw a whole day's sail ahead, but was rather apt to overlook things that lay directly under his nose.

Who acts: look out, Jason, things · What happens: station, see, be, overlook, lay, account · To what, where: Lynceus, sail, things, nose, sharp sight
