The Courlanders attacked them vigorously,
but mostly with spears and javelins,
not coming to close quarters.
Egil's party going forward along
the fence did not find out till too late that
another line of palings ran along on the other side,
the space between narrowing till there was a bend
and all progress barred.
The Courlanders pursued after them into this pen,
while some set on them from without,
thrusting javelins and swords through the palings,
while others cast clothes on their weapons.
Egil's party were wounded, and after that taken,
and all bound, and so brought home to the farmhouse.
