Thorolf by his persuasion so managed that
Skallagrim yielded and gave men for
the outward voyage that summer.
These went with message and tokens to
Thorir Hroaldsson,
and sought atonement between him and Bjorn.
But no sooner did Brynjolf hear this than he, too,
set his whole mind to offer atonement for Bjorn.

And the end of this matter was that
Thorir took atonement for Bjorn,
because he saw that it had come to this
now that Bjorn had nothing to fear.
Thus Brynjolf got atonement accepted for Bjorn,
and Skallagrim's messengers abode
with Thorir for the winter.
In the summer following they went back;
and on their coming back in autumn
they told their tidings that Bjorn was admitted to
atonement in Norway.

Bjorn was with Skallagrim for yet a third winter.
But next spring he made him ready for departure
with his following.
And when Bjorn was ready for going,
then Bera said she would fain have Asgerdr,
her foster-child, left-behind.
