Odyssey book XII--39
"Odysseus escaped the Sirens by having all his sailors plug their ears with beeswax and tie him to the mast. He was curious as to what the Sirens sounded like. When he heard their beautiful song, he ordered the sailors to untie him but they ignored him. When they had passed out of earshot, Odysseus stopped thrashing about and calmed down, and was released (Odyssey XII, 39).

I'm 98% certain that the chapters vary depending on which translation you're using. I've even read Odyssey translations that didn't include chapters, period. Sorry.
I suggest checking Wikipedia for the story, and see what else happens around that time. Maybe then you can place the story within your translation.
