Bjorn and some men with him got into a boat,
Bjorn telling his comrades to beware of saying
about their voyage aught that might work them trouble.
They rowed to the buildings,
and found there men to speak to.
First they asked where they had come to land.
The men told them that this was named Borgar-firth;
that the buildings they saw were called Borg;
that the goodman was Skallagrim.

Bjorn at once remembered about him, and he went to meet Skallagrim,
and they talked together.
Skallagrim asked who they were. Bjorn named himself and his father,
but Skallagrim knew Brynjolf well, so he offered to Bjorn such help as he needed.
This Bjorn accepted thankfully.
Then Skallagrim asked what others there were in the ship, persons of rank.
Bjorn said there was Thora, Hroald's daughter, sister of lord Thorir.
Skallagrim was right glad for that, and said that it was his bounden
duty to give to the sister of Thorir his own foster-brother such help
as she needed or he could supply;
and he bade her and Bjorn both to his house with all his shipmates.
Bjorn accepted this. So the cargo was moved from the ship up to the homestead at Borg. There they set up their booths; but the ship was drawn up into the brook hard by.
And where Bjorn's party had their booths is still called Bjorn's home-field.
Bjorn and his shipmates all took up their abode with Skallagrim, who never had about him fewer than sixty stout fellows.
