Bjorn and Thorolf, talking with Thorir,
asked him whether he thought it true that the king
bore a heavy grudge against Thorolf.
Thorir did not deny that he had heard so.
'Then I would fain,' said Bjorn,
'that you should go and plead Thorolf's cause before him,
for one lot shall befall me and Thorolf;
he did as much for me when I was in Iceland.'
The end was that Thorir promised to go to the king,
and bade them try whether the king's son would go with him.
But when Thorolf and Bjorn spake of this with Eric,
he promised his influence with his father.

After that Thorolf and Bjorn went their way to Sogn.
But Thorir and Eric the king's son set in order
the newly-given galley,
and went south to meet the king,
and found him in Hordaland.
He received them joyfully.
