(a) The boat is now in the stormy sea. If is carrying Lord Ullin’s daughter, her lover and the boatman.

(b) A ‘stormy land’ indicates ‘storm’ in the household of Lord Ullin and ‘stormy sea’ indicates roughness of the sea.

(c) The tempest had become so furious that it was difficult to be tackled easily. It has become too rough and wild.
