Visit of Onund and Thrand to Eyvind in Ireland.
The following summer they made ready for a voyage to the West, to
Ireland. At the same time Balki and Hallvard sailed westwards,
to Iceland, where they had heard that good land was available for
occupation. Balki took up some land at Hrutafjord, and had his
abode in two places called Balkastad. Hallvard occupied
Sugandafjord and Skalavik as far as Stigi, where he lived.
Thrand and Onund went to visit Eyvind the Easterner, who
welcomed joyfully his brother Thrand; but when he heard that
Onund had also come, he became very angry and wanted to fight
him. Thrand asked him not to do so, and said it would ill become
him to quarrel with men from Norway, especially with such as had
given no offence. Eyvind said that he had given offence before,
when he made war on Kjarval the king, and that he should now pay
for it. The brothers had much to say to each other about the
matter, till at last Thrand said that he and Onund should share
their fortune together. Then Eyvind allowed himself to be
appeased. They stayed there a long time in the summer and went
with Eyvind on his expeditions. Eyvind found Onund to be a man
of the greatest valour. In the autumn they went to the Hebrides,
and Eyvind made over to Thrand all his share in their father
Bjorn's patrimony in the event of Bjorn dying before Thrand.
They stayed in the Hebrides until they married and some years
after.
