They went their way when they were ready.
They had the wind blowing hard against them,
and sharp gale and troublesome;
but they pursued their
journey vigorously,
taking to their oars.
And their progress was such,
that on the evening of a day
they came to Atla-isle,
and there put in to land.
In this island,
not far up from the shore,
was a large farm belonging to king Eric.
The overlooker thereof was
a man named Bard.
He was called Bard of Atla-isle,
and was a good business man and worker;
not of high birth,
but much prized by the king and Gunnhilda.
