rposing to meet King Olaf, and when
they were fallen in with him gave they battle, and fierce was the fight
thereof. Soon men began to fall plenteously, but so much the more was
this the case among the host of the Halogalanders; their ships were
cleared and thereupon came fear & terror over them, & Raud rowed his
dragon out to sea and hoisted the sail thereof. A breeze had he wherever
he was minded to go, and this came of his powers of magic; but to cut
short the tale of the cruise of Raud is briefly to relate that home
sailed he even unto Godey. For land made Thorir Hart in all haste and
his folk fled their ships, but King Olaf pursued after them & put them
to the sword. Moreover then as ever when such doings were afoot was the
King himself foremost among his men.

He saw whither Thorir ran (and Thorir was exceeding fleet of foot) and
thither went the King after him, followed by his dog Vigi. And the King

him & out at the other side, and thus ended Thorir his life; but Vigi
was borne wounded to the ships.

there nigh upon a week the same wind blew ever the while from the land,
though without the fjord was there a fresh and favourable breeze for to
sail north along the coast.

Therefore it came to pass that the King set sail and fared all the way
northward to Amd, and there the folk became Christians.

After that went he about, and when he was come south again to Salpti he
found a gale blowing down the fjord and driving spray into his
countenance.

There lay the King even a few more nights, but the weather waxing no
better inquired he then of Bishop Sigurd whether or not he wotted of
some remedy against the fiendcraft.

|| So thereupon took Bishop Sigurd all the appurtenances that belonged
unto the Holy Mass, and walked he forwa
