Whereat Skallagrim let Egil loose,
but clutched at her.
She broke away and took to her heels
with Skallagrim after her.
So went they to the utmost point of Digra-ness.
Then she leapt out from the rock into the water.
Skallagrim hurled after her a great stone,
which struck her between the shoulders,
and neither ever came up again.
The water there is now called Brakar-sound.
But afterwards, in the evening,
when they came home to Borg,
Egil was very angry.
Skallagrim and everybody else were set at table,
but Egil had not yet come to his place.
He went into the fire-hall,
and up to the man who there had the overseeing of work and
the management of moneys for Skallagrim,
and was most dear to him.
Egil dealt him his deathblow, then went to his seat.
Skallagrim spoke not a word about it then,
and thenceforward the matter was kept quiet.
But father and son exchanged no word good or bad,
and so that winter passed.
