Onund and Asmund sail to Iceland.

Onund and Asmund set sail directly when they were ready and their

ships kept together. Onund said:



"Hallvard and I were aforetime deemed

worthy in storm of swords to bear us.

With one foot now I step on the ship

towards Iceland. The poet's day is o'er."



They had a rough passage with cross winds, mostly from the south,

so that they drifted away to the north. They made Iceland right

in the North, at Langanes, where they regained their reckonings.

The ships were near enough to each other for them to speak

together. Asmund said they had better make for Eyjafjord, and

this was agreed to. They kept under the land and heavy weather

set in from the south-east. Just as Onund was tacking, the yard

was carried away; they lowered the sail and were driven out to

sea. Asmund got under the lee of Hrisey, where he waited until a

fair wind set in which took him up to Eyjafjord. Helgi the Lean

gave him the whole of Kraeklingahlid, and he lived at South-

Glera. A few years later his brother Asgrim came to Iceland and

took up his residence at North-Glera. His son was Ellidagrim the

father of Asgrim.
